What does Note di Colonia IV smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall, then spring, and it leans towards evenings and leisure time. Voters split almost evenly between feminine and masculine, with classic not far behind.

The top notes of bergamot and green mandarin orange give a fresh opening. In the heart, orange blossom and Turkish rose add a soft floral touch. The base of labdanum, patchouli and opoponax carries it into a sweet, spicy, woody warmth. Rasasi Mukhallat Oudh Al Mubakhar and Xerjoff Esquel have a close profile.
