What does Pompeii smell like?

It opens with Moroccan orange, Sicilian lemon, Calabrian bergamot and lime, with cinnamon and Tunisian rosemary adding a spicy, green edge. The heart brings geranium, Egyptian jasmine, cedarwood and coriander, balancing floral and woody tones. In the base, sandalwood, amber and vanilla smooth it out and sweeten it.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick summer, spring and fall, while winter plays a minor part. It leans towards leisure, business and everyday wear. Although it is marketed as feminine, most voters read it as masculine.
