What does Bergamotto di Calabria smell like?

It opens with Calabrian bergamot and lemon, which read bright, slightly green and watery. Cedarwood and red ginger in the heart add a dry, lightly spicy woody frame. Musk, benzoin and vetiver sit underneath and soften the citrus.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin and keeps a quiet profile. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. Votes for masculine and feminine character sit fairly close, so it suits either.
