Etro Etra is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1999. Etra opens with Rosewood, Cardamom, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Pimiento, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vanilla. Etro's Etra carries a Favourite verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

A divisive one, this. Those who get a full wear out of it reckon it's a classy, unique spicy-woody dream. But the overwhelming majority finds it too faint and fleeting, leaving much to be desired for the price.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Date Formal

Its soft projection and warm, subtle spice make it perfect for office wear or casual outings, as it won't offend. However, its poor longevity means it struggles to make an impact for dates or formal events without constant reapplication, and it's too gentle for sport.

About

Etra opens with a lively blend of cardamom, coriander, and rosewood, quickly softening into a heart of gentle rose, jasmine, geranium, and a touch of pimiento, all grounded by warm cedar and creamy sandalwood. The dry down is a clean, musky vanilla that lingers softly, if you're lucky. It's a warm, spicy woody scent with an aromatic freshness.
