What does Balliamo smell like?

It opens with pepper, citron and honey pomelo: sharp, bright and lightly sweet. In the heart, lavender absolute, Italian white fig and myrtle add a green, fruity softness. Vetiver, Ambronova™ and American cedarwood keep the base dry and woody.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily and leisure wear lead the occasions. It leans slightly masculine, though modern and feminine votes are close behind.
