Eau de Toilette

Carrera Eau de Toilette is a men's fragrance that ties a fresh, citrusy opening to a spicy, woody and leathery base; it has been discontinued. The top is lavender, rosemary, coriander and bergamot, so it starts crisp and aromatic. The heart of aniseed, geranium, jasmine and carnation adds a floral, spicy turn. The base of sandalwood, leather, cedar, moss, tonka bean and musk dominates in the end, leaving a smoky, oriental warmth. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the vote count is small, so these ratings are tentative. Dunhill Dunhill and Dior Fahrenheit have a close profile.

Carrera

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Carrera pour Homme is a men's fragrance built on lavender and citrus fruits, with a fresh, green, slightly aquatic feel backed by spices and woods; it has been discontinued. Longevity and sillage are both rated as moderate, though the number of ratings is small, so this is a rough indication rather than a firm verdict. It is positioned as a masculine scent. Citrus fruits and lavender lead, and together they set the fresh, green character. Spices add a slight edge, while woods and amber settle it onto a woody, resinous, faintly sweet base; synthetic and earthy tones stay in the background. Brut Eau de Brut and Seve Ballesteros Royal Green have a close profile.
