What does Luce di Rosa smell like?

It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange, pink pepper and Madagascan cardamom, a bright and slightly spicy start. In the heart, black pepper, geranium and Bulgarian rose lead; the rose stays green and fresh rather than heavy. As it dries, vetiver, cedar, gaiac wood and musk settle it onto a woody base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business get the most votes. Feminine edges ahead on character, but masculine draws votes too, so it sits between the two. Creed Vetiver Geranium and Floris 1976 have a close profile.
