Real Time Tierra del Fuego is a men's fragrance that sets the fresh citrus of grapefruit and orange against the earthy, woody weight of vetiver, cedar and patchouli; it has been discontinued.

What does Tierra del Fuego smell like?

It opens with grapefruit and orange, bright and clean. In the heart, pepper and geranium add a spicy, slightly green edge. The base of vetiver, cedar, patchouli and benzoin settles into a woody, earthy ground, with benzoin softening the harder edges. A synthetic note runs through the accords as well.

Voters find both longevity and sillage weak, so expect a light scent that stays close to the skin. Spring and summer lead slightly, with autumn not far behind; daily wear, leisure and office are the occasions it suits. It reads masculine. Mazzolari Herion and Terre d'Hermès (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
