Pino Silvestre Original is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1955, created by Lino Vidal. Original opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Lavender, and Juniper, settles into a heart of Caraway, Pine, Geranium, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Oakmoss. Pino Silvestre's Original carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Pino Silvestre Original is a divisive classic. Some find it a refreshing, natural pine forest; others smell only kitchen herbs, cleaning products, or worse. It's a nostalgic trip for many but polarising for new noses - a true love-it-or-hate-it cheapie.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its fresh, aromatic profile makes it suitable for casual wear and daily refreshing, particularly for outdoorsy activities. However, its often-criticised weak performance and 'old-school' vibe make it less ideal for formal events or intimate dates.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a sharp, invigorating burst of lemon and bergamot, quickly joined by aromatic lavender, fresh basil, and the unmistakable, slightly camphoric tang of juniper. The heart unfolds into a woody embrace of pine and cedar, softened by geranium and a hint of spicy carnation. The dry down settles into an earthy base of oakmoss, amber, and musk, evoking a walk through a damp forest floor.
