Is this fragrance suitable for hot weather?+−
Yes, El Pasajero is most popular during the spring and summer. Its aquatic notes and fresh green galbanum perform well in warmth without becoming cloying, though the resinous base allows it to hold up in the cooler days of fall as well.
How does the "fucus absolute" affect the scent?+−
Fucus absolute is derived from seaweed, and it contributes a salty, slightly earthy, and mossy green quality. It works alongside the aquatic notes to give the fragrance a realistic, coastal or damp-forest feel rather than a synthetic "blue" smell.
Is this more of a masculine or feminine scent?+−
It is designed for both men and women. The floral notes of magnolia and osmanthus provide a delicate sweetness, while the galbanum, ambergris, and musk provide a crisp, rugged backbone that appeals to those who prefer masculine-leaning fresh fragrances.
Does it last a long time on the skin?+−
As a Parfum, it has good staying power, though it is known for being a more intimate scent. While it may not project across a room for many hours, the musky and resinous base notes tend to linger as a sophisticated skin scent throughout the workday.
