Wood and Spice

7.8

Proraso

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Proraso Wood and Spice is a spicy, woody men's fragrance that suits fall and winter days. Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and leisure time, though daily and business wear also get votes. It reads masculine and classic. The top notes of saffron and cumin open with spice. In the heart, sandalwood and cedarwood set the woody base, while cistus and vanilla in the base sweeten it and add a resinous, slightly smoky, earthy warmth. Sweet and oriental accords soften the spice.

Cypress & Vetyver

7.8

Proraso

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Proraso Cypress & Vetyver is a fresh, citrusy and green woody scent made for men. Cypress and bergamot come first, then cedarwood and vetiver carry the heart into a dry, woody line. Amber softens the base. The accords also show spicy and powdery touches, along with a synthetic undertone. Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick it for daily wear, followed by leisure and business settings, and it is rated well for the price. Chanel Paris - Édimbourg and Mazzolari Nero Vetiver have a close profile.

Azur Lime

6.6

Proraso

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Proraso Azur Lime is a fresh, green men's fragrance built around the coolness of mint and lime. It opens with mint and lime, and juniper berry in the heart adds a green, lightly spicy edge. Patchouli and musk sit underneath, giving a woody, creamy base while the fruity and sweet sides stay in the background. The overall impression is clean and citrusy, with a slightly synthetic feel. Longevity and sillage are rated weak, though few people have voted, so that impression is tentative. Voters find it good value for the money. Mugler A*Men Pure Shot and Rasasi Chastity for Men have a close profile.
