The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1993, Samba Nova Homme by Perfumer's Workshop is an aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of a vibrant and energetic spirit. The composition opens with a burst of lavender and fruity notes, balanced by green accents like neroli and bergamot. As it develops, coriander and clary sage introduce a fresh spicy element, while jasmine and lily-of-the-valley bring a touch of white floral sweetness. The base notes of musk, oakmoss, cedar, tonka bean, and amber ground the scent with an earthy warmth.
Apply two sprays to ensure that the bright top notes and spicy heart make a lasting impression. The scent develops over time, so it's best enjoyed close to skin rather than diffused across a room.
