Notes
The Essence, Porsche Design's first fragrance for men, was launched in 2006 and composed by Anne Flipo and Bruno Jovanovic. An icy-fresh woody aromatic built on the Artical molecule, juniper and blueberry over Russian coriander, pepper and Siberian pine, on fir balsam, incense and patchouli.
Scent story
The Essence is Porsche Design in scent form — engineered, precise, unmistakably cool. It opens with an icy blast of the Artical molecule softened by juniper and a whisper of blueberry, like cold air through an open sunroof. Russian coriander, pepper and Siberian pine give it a green, resinous heart, while fir balsam, incense and patchouli provide a warm woody contrast underneath. It is crisp, modern and confident — the fragrance equivalent of the 911's clean lines. In Indian heat its icy freshness is a genuine relief. Beginner-friendly for men who like fresh-woody scents with a distinctive edge.
