What does Il Bacio (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The top notes of jasmine, honeysuckle, freesia, lily of the valley and rose open floral. In the heart, passion fruit, plum, peach and melon turn it fruity and sweet. The base of amber, cedarwood, musk and sandalwood leaves a woody, powdery, slightly oriental warmth.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Voters pick spring, summer and fall about equally and winter less often, and lean towards evenings and nights out, with daily wear close behind. Most describe it as feminine and classic. Its profile is close to Salvador Dali Dalissime and Elizabeth Arden Red Door.
