Azzaro Silver Black

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on apple, lime and anise, moves through juniper, coriander and cardamom, and settles on patchouli, white musk and vetiver.

• apple: crisp and sweet, leaning green or red depending on the blend
• lime: sharp green citrus, more bitter and less sweet than lemon

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
