What does Primo smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure. It reads masculine and modern.
The top opens with lava, maple syrup and grapefruit: the maple syrup carries the sweetness forward while the grapefruit lightens it. In the heart, Calabrian chili and Bourbon geranium add a spicy thread, softened by tonka bean absolute. The base of Sumatran patchouli, cedarwood and sandalwood settles it on a woody, smoky floor.
