What does Roads of Rome smell like?

The top holds aromatic notes, cypress and frankincense; the heart brings jasmine, rose, white blossoms and tagetes. The base settles on cistus, saffron, vetiver and patchouli for a woody, spicy footing, with praliné softening it toward sweet. Green and oriental touches stay in the background beside the flowers.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans toward evenings and nights out. More voters read it as masculine, though some call it feminine. Spiritum 3 - Wisdom Universe and Parfums de Marly Godolphin have a close profile.
