What does Acqua Fiorentina (2012) smell like?

It opens with greengage plum, Diamond jubilee apple and prune, which give it a fruity sweetness. In the heart, rose, Sicilian bergamot and white carnation set a floral scene, while Calabrian lemon and Italian pear keep it bright. The base of Indian sandalwood and Virginia cedar leaves a woody footing, with green and sweet tones running through the whole.

Most voters recommend spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the settings that come up most. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable up close without filling the room. Most voters read it as feminine.
