Scirocco
7.1Roccobarocco · 2015
Fresh · Citrus · Floral
Roccobarocco Scirocco opens with rhubarb, lemon and bergamot before turning spicy with cinnamon, cardamom and cumin, a fresh, woody men's scent that has been discontinued.
The top notes of rhubarb, lemon, bergamot and grapefruit give a citrusy, lightly fruity freshness, while angelica and elemi resin add a green edge. In the heart, cinnamon, cardamom and cumin bring the spice, with iris and geranium softening it with a floral touch. The base rests on Haitian vetiver, patchouli and Virginia cedar, and labdanum and musk keep it resinous and warm.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring first and fall second, and leisure, business and daily wear lead the occasions. Many read it as masculine and classic. Creed Vetiver Geranium and The 7 Virtues Vetiver Elemi have a close profile.
