What does Classica smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with leisure and evening wear leading. Votes split between masculine and feminine, so it sits somewhere in between.

The top opens with neroli, bergamot and lemon for a bright citrus start. In the heart, heliotrope, iris and orange blossom add a soft, floral, powdery feel. The base of labdanum, vetiver, castoreum and vanilla settles into a resinous, woody, animal depth. Roja Parfums Diaghilev (Parfum) and Pierre de Velay No. 47 have a close profile.
