What does Arancia La Spugnatura smell like?

The three citrus notes lead together and read fruity, sweet and bright. Towards the heart, bitter almond and black pepper pull it in a spicier direction, and in the base musk and cedarwood leave it on a soft, woody footing.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most often. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it sits comfortably on either. Davidoff Adventure (Eau de Toilette) and Comptoir Cologne Bois de Cèdre / Cedar Wood have a close profile.
