Trussardi Skin is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2002, created by Anne Flipo. Skin opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin, and Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Rosewood, Rose, Jasmine, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Trussardi's Skin carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This discontinued gem is a true crowd-pleaser, perpetually missed by its devotees who hail it as a unique, versatile, 'second skin' scent that garners endless compliments. A few find it too green or 'aftershave-y', but for most, it's liquid gold.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal Sport

Its clean, fresh, and citrusy profile makes it highly appropriate for office and casual wear, despite some mentions of good projection. The 'second skin' quality and sensual drydown also lend it well to date nights, though its lightness might be overshadowed in very formal settings.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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

Trussardi Skin opens with a bright burst of citrus and crisp apple, softened by the delicate touch of peach and violet leaf. The heart unfolds into a clean, fresh floral bouquet of rose and lily of the valley, underpinned by a hint of rosewood. It settles into a warm, inviting base of musky cedar and earthy patchouli, creating a scent that's both invigorating and comforting.
