Cefiro

Cefiro is a citrus cologne from the London house Floris, released in 2001 and worn by anyone. Citrus is the accord every wearer names; about half also find it woody, a third spicy, and a minority pick up musk and a floral hint. It is bright, clean and lightly spiced rather than sweet.

The notes are listed together and most of them are citrus: Amalfi lemon, lemon, lime, bergamot, mandarin orange and orange give a layered, sunny start with both sharp and sweet peel in it. Cardamom and nutmeg add a warm, dry spice that gives the freshness more character than a simple eau de cologne. Jasmine provides a faint floral softness in the middle. The base of cedar, Virginia cedar, sandalwood and musk is dry and smooth, keeping the citrus anchored for longer than it would be on its own.

Its profile points to warm weather, daytime and everyday wear, from the office to a summer lunch. Cefiro suits people who like classic citrus colognes and want a touch of spice and wood without losing the lightness.
