Roberto Ugolini Derby is a classic-leaning men's fragrance that pairs a fresh, green opening with spice, resin and smoky wood.
Skunky's take: Comes alive when it gets cold; fall and winter are its seasons.

The top notes of artemisia, basil and cardamom give it a bright, herbal start. In the heart, pimento, cinnamon and myrrh add a warm, resinous spiciness. The base of vetiver, patchouli, birch and cedarwood leaves an earthy, smoky, leathery woodiness.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and leisure, daily wear and business are the most named occasions. Voters read it as masculine and classic. Azzaro pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) and Aramis Havana (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
