What does Colors de Benetton (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The opening is fresh and green: hyacinth, neroli, basil and Egyptian sage. In the heart, passion fruit, pineapple and peach add a fruity sweetness, while jasmine, tuberose and Bulgarian rose carry the floral side. The base of oakmoss, cedar, opoponax and Bourbon vanilla settles it into a woody, resinous, lightly sweet finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, and daily wear, leisure and office lead the occasions. Most voters see it as feminine. Simone Cosac Trama and Nishane Karagoz have a close profile.
