What does Penthouse Larvotto smell like?

Bergamot, coriander and violet leaf open it fresh and green. In the heart, black pepper, lily of the valley and rose add a soft floral note while the spice stays present. The base of vanilla, ambergris and patchouli sweetens it and turns it woody and oriental.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter close behind and summer last. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also suits business and leisure wear. It reads masculine. Its profile is close to The Dua Brand Tux and Yves Saint Laurent Tuxedo (Eau de Parfum).
