Luminous Waves

Volaré captures the sophisticated ginger and grapefruit punch of the original with impressive accuracy. The opening is a bit more peppery and "zingy" than the LV version, which some users actually prefer for its extra energy. As it settles, the ambroxan and watery notes create a professional, masculine sillage that smells like a successful man on a yacht. It is a reliable daily driver that smells far more expensive than its actual price point.
