What does Blu Uomo (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The top notes of orange, mandarin orange and sea lily give a bright, fruity start. In the heart, cistus, myrtle and jasmine add a floral, green middle. The base of cedarwood, oakmoss and mastic settles it onto a woody, lightly spicy ground.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it suits daily wear, leisure and the office. Most read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine. Creed Erolfa and Floris JF (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
