What does Ettore Bugatti (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Mandarin orange, grapefruit and bergamot give it a bright start, softened by neroli. In the heart, clove, cinnamon and lavender build a spicy, green fougère feel, with jasmine and rose staying in the background. The base of vetiver, patchouli and Russian leather leaves a woody, slightly animalic trail, warmed by vanilla and amber.

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, and it is chosen most for daily wear, leisure and business. It reads masculine and classic. Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza and Yves Saint Laurent Kouros have a close profile.
