About

Essentiel by Brioni opens with a burst of citrus freshened by crisp green notes. As it unfolds, a heart of sophisticated spice blends with herbal undertones, before settling into a warm, woody base that exudes elegance. Green tea and pepper keep the woods clean and dry rather than heavy, which makes it an unusually office-safe woody. Expect around five hours, and it is versatile enough to wear year round.
