WoodyWhat does Valero smell like?
It opens with bergamot, juniper and citron, clean and bright. In the heart, lavender, cypress, nutmeg and Bourbon geranium add a floral, spicy touch. Ambrox, patchouli and sandalwood then settle it onto a woody base, with a sweet, synthetic edge in the background.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daytime, leisure and business wear lead. Most voters call it masculine and modern. Versace Jeans Couture Man and Loewe Solo (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
