What does La Superba - Rovo Nero smell like?

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate. Spring and fall lead the season votes, with summer not far behind. It is chosen most for leisure and daily wear. Most voters read it as masculine, while some call it feminine or classic.

The top notes are wild berries, bergamot, lime and lemon, so it starts fresh and citrusy. In the heart, lily of the valley, white lily and rose add a floral, green side, and pimento brings a light spice. The base of patchouli, liquorice, vetiver and sandalwood leaves it woody and earthy. Quercus and Diptyque Vetyverio have a close profile.
