What does Cialenga (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters find it wearable in every season, with autumn and spring slightly ahead. It leans towards daytime and office wear, and suits evenings too. It reads feminine and classic.

The opening pairs blackcurrant and citrus fruits with green notes for a lively, fruity freshness. The heart builds a floral body from iris, rose, jasmine and lily of the valley, with clove adding a light spicy edge. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, cedarwood and oakmoss settles into a woody, earthy chypre.
