Perle Rare Homme

Panouge · 2016

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Panouge Perle Rare Homme is a fresh, citrusy and aquatic fragrance for men, suited to warm days and easy everyday wear. Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it neither dominates a room nor vanishes quickly. It is clearly aimed at men, though the powdery, creamy side softens it. It opens with pineapple, bergamot and kumquat for a fruity brightness. Green tea and rose take over in the heart, and white musk, sandalwood and crystal amber settle it into a soft, powdery base. Une Nuit Nomade Nothing but Sea and Sky and Puma Create Man (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.

Sergio Tacchini · 2017

Fresh · Citrus · Fruity

Sergio Tacchini Smash is a fresh, fruity men's fragrance that sets bright citrus over a sweet, creamy base; it has been discontinued. It opens with yuzu, lime and Granny Smith apple, giving a crisp citrus-and-fruit start. In the heart, orange blossom, cardamom and white cedarwood soften that brightness, and the base of crystal amber, tonka bean and musk sweetens it into a creamy, gourmand finish. A synthetic edge runs through the accords. Longevity is rated moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. These ratings rest on only a few votes. Berdoues Coco & Bergamote and Armaf Odyssey Mandarin Sky have a close profile.
