What does Barcelona smell like?

It opens with bitter orange, sparkling wine and pomegranate, a lively, fruit-led start. In the heart, red wine, rose and cherry round it out and sweeten it. The base of musk, sandalwood, chocolate, amber and cedar settles it onto a warm, gourmand, lightly spicy ground.

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong, though the small number of votes means these ratings are tentative. It suits men and women alike. Anfas Aya and Viktor & Rolf Dancing Roses have a close profile.
