The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1999 by Perfumer's Workshop, Samba Red Man is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that balances freshness with warmth. The composition opens with bright citrus and fruity notes, creating an invigorating first impression. As it settles into a woody base, hints of aromatic and powdery accords add depth and complexity, while green and fresh spicy elements keep the scent lively and engaging throughout the day.

How to wear it

Samba Red Man has moderate longevity and sillage, making it suitable for daytime wear. A single spray is sufficient to capture its refreshing blend of citrus and aromatic notes, which evolve into a warm woody base over time. It's best applied in the morning when you want something fresh that can carry you through until evening.
