What does Giardino Segreto smell like?

It opens with pink pepper, ylang-ylang and coriander. In the heart, clove, jasmine and two roses, Grasse rose absolute and Royal William rose, build the floral core. The base of musk, vanilla, sandalwood and patchouli sweetens the scent and settles it onto a woody ground.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters suggest spring and fall, with winter and summer picked less often. It is chosen mostly for leisure time and nights out, and half of the voters find it feminine. Widian Hili and Miro Secrets have a close profile.
