What does Alessandro Dell'Acqua smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Voters place it mostly in daily and business wear, with leisure and evening not far behind. It is classed as a feminine scent.

It opens with sweet pea, coriander and geranium, giving a fresh, green start with a faint citrus edge. Peony and rose carry the floral heart. In the base, frankincense, cistus, sandalwood and amber settle it into a sweet, powdery, creamy wood with a slightly smoky, resinous warmth.
