Prima Terra
A luminous aromatic-citrus Eau de Parfum of mandarin, rosemary and oakmoss, reworking a classic cologne idea into a fresher yet earthy-green scent that recalls sunlit African landscapes and feels quietly gender-neutral.
Scent Development and Character
A bright aromatic-citrus Eau de Parfum that opens with juicy, slightly bitter mandarin and the cool, camphoraceous lift of rosemary, suggesting the clarity of a modern cologne. As it settles, the sparkle dries down into a drier, earthy-green oakmoss accord that recalls sun-warmed soil after rain, linking citrus freshness with a grounded, almost mineral warmth inspired by African savannah landscapes.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
The composition’s mix of airy citrus, herbs and dry moss makes it especially at home in mild to warm weather, working well for daytime wear from spring through early autumn in casual, creative and office environments where a discreet yet characterful scent is preferred. Its restrained sweetness and clean green facets also allow it to function as a refined year-round signature in temperate climates for those who enjoy modern cologne-style perfumes. Best aligned with spring and summer, but its dry mossy base also suits mild autumn days; less ideal in very cold winter conditions where its subtlety may be lost. Sillage is Projection is relatively discreet, with a short-lived, airy halo in the opening and a closer, more intimate trail as the oakmoss accord emerges, making it unlikely to overwhelm shared or professional spaces. Longevity is Moderate longevity for an aromatic-citrus Eau de Parfum, with the bright mandarin and rosemary phase fading after a couple of hours while the oakmoss-based earthiness persists closer to the skin for around 4–6 hours in temperate conditions.
