Roberto Ugolini - Loafer

Despite the fact that he doesn’t wear its namesake shoe very often, Herbert Stricker formulated this fragrance with himself in mind, and it is thus his personal favorite. Intended for casual, leisure activities, Loafer requires a deft hand to execute perfectly, but the results can be a perfect harmony of upscale and casual, elegant and effortless.

Opening with oranges and a subtle hint of cloves, Loafer then transitions into a strong floral and spicy presence before a somewhat sweet and musky finish. The result offers a clean first impression with a rich, deep termination that isn’t heavy or overly cloying.
