Beatrice PiquetAlain Astori

"Instinct for Men Eau de Parfum is a fresh, citrus-spicy masculine fragrance with an aromatic fougere character. It opens with bright bergamot, mandarin orange leaf, and grapefruit, creating an energetic first impression. The heart combines cardamom, pimento, and star anise for a warm, peppery, subtly anisic effect. Haitian vetiver gives the composition a distinctive dry, earthy-green direction. White amber and patchouli form the base, adding warmth, depth, and a lightly woody finish. Overall, it is an approachable and versatile scent built around fresh citrus, aromatic spice, and vetiver."

Reviews Summary

“A fresh, energetic, and easy-to-wear masculine fragrance. Its bright citrus opening leads into a cardamom- and star-anise-led spicy heart, while vetiver and patchouli give the drydown an earthy, lightly woody character. The overall impression is often described as vetiver-forward, with pimento adding a peppery nuance.”
