What does Nero Donna smell like?

Mandarin orange and red fruits give it a bright start. In the heart, frankincense and rose lead; in the base, oud, vanilla, sandalwood and castoreum build a sweet, woody and animal ground, while saffron and oakmoss keep it spicy and dark.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and night outs and evenings are the most named occasions. Voters read it as feminine more often than not, though a fair number call it masculine. By Terry Terryfic Oud and Ajmal Kashaf have a close profile.
