Samba Nova Cologne by Perfumers Workshop, Samba Nova by Perfumer’s Workshop is a compelling combination of aromatic and herbal accords. Introduced in 1993, this fragrance is a study in fresh scents, giving it a modern appeal. It is best worn in the daytime, although it can suit just about any occasion. The fragrance opens with cool, crisp notes of peppermint, bergamot and lavender. Then the heart of the cologne opens, with notes of peppery basil and thyme. The fragrance closes with notes of geranium, sandalwood and pineapple.
