In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Sandalo e The opens with brisk tea, lemon and aromatic herbs, then settles into a dry woody heart with cedar, patchouli and soft florals. The sandalwood base brings a gently warm finish, with touches of myrrh and tobacco that keep it refined rather than heavy. It suits someone who likes woody fragrances with freshness…

Reviews →

Versace Black Jeans is a dark, spicy floral release that departs from the sunny sweetness of its blue counterpart. It sits on skin with a heavy mix of dry lavender, bitter tarragon, and a warm leather base. Best worn on cool spring nights, this fragrance appeals to those who appreciate retro masculine perfumery.
