What does Acqua Nobile Gelsomino smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Most see it as feminine, though a fair number call it modern.

It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange and lemon in a lively citrus layer. In the heart, Calabrian jasmine, petitgrain and neroli add a floral, green tone. Cedarwood and musk soften the base and leave a light woodiness. This is not a heavy jasmine but a fresh floral balanced by citrus. Al Haramain Neroli Canvas and Le Labo Bergamote 22 have a close profile.
