What does Dolce di Giorno smell like?

The opening pairs pepper, bergamot and grapefruit with a bright edge, while cinnamon adds warmth from the first moment. In the heart, thyme, cardamom and prune balance fruity sweetness against the spices. The base of labdanum, vanilla, gaiac wood and patchouli is resinous, smoky and woody, and the overall impression is gourmand and oriental.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring further behind and summer a small minority. It leans towards evenings, nights out and leisure time, and most voters read it as masculine. Costume National Homme and Atelier des Ors Rouge Sarây have a close profile.
