What does Vento Ardente smell like?

The notes layer on top of one another: leather and patchouli darken the warmth of cinnamon and saffron, while Turkish rose and Chinese osmanthus carry the floral side. Oriental, resinous and smoky accords dominate, with woody and leathery tones behind them.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong, though only a small number of voters have weighed in, so the picture is tentative. Its dense, warm build suits cooler weather and evenings better. Versace Safran Royal and Lattafa Maahir have a close profile.
