What does Borgo (Eau de Toilette Intense) smell like?

The opening pairs sour cherry with two citrus notes, bergamot and lime, for a fruity, fresh start. In the heart, pittosporum, ylang-ylang and jasmine add a soft floral layer. The base of musk, vanilla, amber and cedarwood sweetens the scent and settles it on a woody, powdery footing.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily, leisure and business wear lead the occasions. Most see it as feminine in character. Jaguar Classic Gold and La Rive Madame Isabelle have a close profile.
