Fiero presents a bold, sharp citrus aromatic with an invigorating opening dominated by lemongrass, bergamot, blood orange, and lemon, creating a bright, effervescent burst reminiscent of fresh citrus juice. The fragrance evolves into a deeply herbal and green heart, featuring tarragon, thyme, mint, and neroli, maintaining a masculine, barbershop aesthetic with a natural, slightly soapy complexity. The drydown reveals a light sweetness from coumarin, fig, and tonka, balanced by sandalwood, nutmeg, and vetiver, resulting in a dry, slightly earthy, aromatic base with moderate warmth. Despite a few dividers, the overall impression is strong and well-executed, offering exceptional longevity and projection for a citrus scent, making it especially powerful in warm weather. While some find it overly green or sour, others praise its refreshing depth, resemblance to vintage Dior Eau Sauvage and classics like Cravache, and elegant balance of acidity and spice. The performance remains potent even as the scent transitions to a rear-scent, allowing for a long, satisfying wear across summer days.
