Cefiro
Cefiro by Floris is an unisex eau de toilette from 2002 in the niche price tier. It opens with lemon, lime, bergamot, mandarin, cardamom and nutmeg, moves into jasmine and dries down to musk. Expect around 4 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Lime Sharper and greener than lemon. Reads a bit tropical, a bit barbershop.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
