What does Prima del Teatro di San Carlo smell like?
It projects moderately and its longevity is rated good. Most voters point to fall, spring and winter, with summer further behind. It is chosen most for leisure and evening wear. More voters call it feminine, though a fair share read it as masculine or classic.
The top is citrusy and minty, fresh and green from the first spray. In the middle, cedarwood, precious woods and benzoin add a warm, woody, resinous body. The base of white musk, oud, rose and amber settles into something sweet, powdery and lightly spicy.
