What does Baldessarini (Eau de Cologne) smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so the scent stays fairly close to the skin. Voters spread the seasons almost evenly, with fall and spring slightly ahead. Daily wear, leisure and office use are equally favoured, while evening and night out sit lower. Most voters call it masculine and classic.
Citrus and green notes lead: spearmint adds coolness, while mandarin orange and bitter orange give a bright, fruity, lightly sweet start. In the heart, patchouli, clove and cumin bring spicy warmth. The base of balsamic notes, musk and sandalwood softens everything and dries down woody.
