Pino Silvestre


A classic Italian cologne. Starts with a citrusy, lemony blast with plenty of lavender and some kind of herb, perhaps clary sage. It quickly settles into a piney and woody/cedary, mostly dry base with some moss and amber or musk. This smells like a toned-down version of Puig's Agua Brava with less complexity and spiciness. There are some soapy and floral notes (geranium perhaps) in the middle which keep the cologne from being too heavy. The overall impression is of a fairly dry, piney and woody cologne with a soapy freshness. A traditional style men's cologne, not like a modern version of fresh.
