What does Rufio smell like?

The notes combine kelp and sandalwood, with red champaca absolute adding a soft floral touch. Onycha and the Bahamian and New Zealand ambergris bring a spicy, slightly animal depth, yet the overall impression stays cool, green and close to the sea.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure is the most common occasion, with night out and evening also getting votes. Perfumes with a close profile include TSVGA Rufio on Steroids and Floris Wilde.
