OPTICO GABON
Pairs well with
The fragrance
Gabon opens with slightly bitter head notes of priprioca, a grass-like aromatic plant that grows along the rivers across tropical regions in Africa, then continues to a heart of ebony wood, a rich and sensual scent laced with woody and spicy notes. A strong and sophisticated fragrance, Gabon is the perfect choice for those who want to leave a lasting impression.
Warm and with a whole lot of character, woody fragrances are defined by their musky, earthy and resin notes. Sandalwood, pine, patchouli, vetiver and cedarwood are amongst the most popular woody fragrances. Gabon Ebony, also known as Gaboon or Black Ebony, is one of the most popular and expensive exotic hardwoods on the market. Dense and heavy, Gabon Ebony’s heartwood is jet black with small flecks of light brown and white through the wood. When heated, ebony gives off a sweet, warm and spicy aroma that is reminiscent of vanilla.
