What does Positano smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters place it in leisure, daytime and business settings, which fits its light, easy character. Though unisex, it reads somewhat more masculine, with a sizeable minority finding it feminine.

Turmeric, blackcurrant and orange open it fresh, fruity and lightly spicy. Lavender, marine notes and hay then bring a green, aquatic feel to the heart. In the base, vetiver, musk and patchouli take over and settle it onto a woody ground. Bond No. 9 Wall Street and Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò Profondo share a close profile.
