WoodyWhat does Samouraï (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens with rose, bergamot and jasmine, while the heart of cedarwood, tarragon and red pepper adds a dry, spicy backbone. In the base, vetiver, sandalwood, musk and vanilla soften the whole. The overall impression is fresh and clean, with a slightly synthetic brightness.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick it for daily wear, leisure and business settings, with evening and sport trailing behind. Its profile is close to Police Pure pour Homme and Lacoste Touch of Sun.
