What does Palermo smell like?

Most voters pick summer and spring, and it fits leisure and daily wear best, with office use close behind. Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays a quiet companion through the day. Votes for feminine and masculine are nearly even, which puts it somewhere in between.

It opens with bitter orange and Sicilian bergamot, a bright citrus start. Rose absolute and musk bring a soft floral heart, and musk with abelmoschus closes it smoothly at the base. The overall feel is fresh, green and slightly fruity, with a synthetic edge. Dior Miss Dior L'Eau and Karl Lagerfeld Kapsule Light have a close profile.
