What does Jean Marie Farina Extra-Vieille (2012) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and sport lead the occasions. Feminine and masculine votes are almost even, so it sits comfortably on either. Acqua di Parma Colonia C.L.U.B. and Dior Cologne Royale have a close profile.

Lemon and bergamot come first, bringing a quick citrus lift. At the heart, neroli, rosemary and petitgrain add a green, lightly spicy layer. Myrtle, sandalwood and cedarwood in the base settle it into a clean, woody finish.
