Incenso Nobile

Wally · 2015

Green · Spicy · Woody

Wally Incenso Nobile is a green, spicy and woody unisex scent that suits autumn and spring best, for leisure time and evenings. It opens with elemi resin, frankincense, black pepper and pink pepper, a resinous and spicy start. The heart turns woody with cardamom, cedarwood and gaiac wood. The base of vetiver, moss and white musk settles into an earthy, smoky, green dryness rather than anything sweet. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without crowding the room. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter not far behind. Leisure, evening and night-out wear lean strongest. It reads more masculine and classic than feminine. Santa Maria Novella Incenso and Robert Piguet Casbah have a close profile.

Pape Satàn / Pepe Nero

7.9

Wally · 2015

Fresh · Green · Spicy

Wally Pape Satàn / Pepe Nero is a unisex fragrance that sets the spicy bite of pepper against a woody, earthy base, with a fresh, green side as well. The top brings pimento, pink pepper, black pepper and caraway, so it opens spicy and dry. The heart of patchouli, cedar and nutmeg turns woody and resinous. In the base, white musk, French moss and green pepper sit beneath smoky and leathery shades. Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter not far behind. It gets votes for leisure, daily wear and evenings, and it can work in an office too. Hermès Poivre Samarcande and Amouage Purpose have a close profile.

Prima Neve

7.7

Wally

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Wally Prima Neve is a unisex fragrance that sets bright, fruity citrus on a floral, woody and powdery base. It opens with Brazilian orange, Italian mandarin orange, Sicilian lemon and litsea cubeba, a sparkling and fresh citrus cluster. In the heart, Egyptian jasmine and Texas cedar balance floral and woody tones, and the base of amber, Haitian vetiver and white musk softens it into a powdery, lightly sweet finish. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the small number of votes means these ratings are only a rough guide. Voters place it mostly in daytime, leisure and office settings, with evening and night out playing a smaller part. Gianfranco Ferré In the Mood for Love and Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine have a close profile.
