Trussardi Primo is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Violaine Collas. Primo opens with Maple, Flint, Pebbles, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Allspice, Geranium, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Trussardi's Primo carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Primo is a divisive scent experience, with some hailing it as a unique, high-end offering and others dismissing it as a generic, sugar-laden trend-follower. Its bold maple syrup opening is either a delightful surprise or a cloying misstep - you'll either love this or hate it.

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.

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

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Primo opens with a distinct, sweet hit of maple syrup, cut through by a sharp grapefruit and an intriguing mineral edge suggesting volcanic stone. As it settles, a warm, spicy core of pimiento and geranium emerges, softened by the creamy sweetness of tonka. The dry down is a woody embrace of sandalwood, patchouli, and cedar, retaining a hint of that spicy warmth.
