What does Penthouse Ginza smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable at close range without filling the room. The ratings come from only a small number of votes, so treat them as a rough guide; those who rated it were pleased with the value for money.

Bergamot and grapefruit open it with a bright citrus lift. Bay leaf, lavender and jasmine form a green, floral middle. In the base, ambergris, patchouli and oakmoss settle it onto a woody, earthy ground, with sweet and spicy touches staying in the background. Rabanne Invictus (Eau de Toilette) and Nishane Hacivat share a close profile.
