Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Its bracing citrus, aquatic and mineral freshness make this ideal for summer and spring, where the airy and ozonic qualities shine. The light, invigorating structure is less suited to cold weather and lacks the depth needed for winter.
Occasions
With its moderate projection, uplifting freshness and clean profile, Profondo is nearly perfect for office, casual, or sporty settings. Its breezy, transparent character is less dramatic for formal evenings but fits most daytime occasions.
Seasons
Sea water, bergamot and rosemary make it a summer scent, with spring close behind. It has no real warmth for autumn or winter.
Occasions
Clean and aromatic, it is easy at the office, at the gym and on casual days. It is too fresh for a formal night.
