What does Italian Citrus smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, with fall well behind and winter rarely chosen. Leisure, daily wear and business are the most named occasions. It reads mainly masculine, though a fair share of voters call it feminine.

It opens on blood orange, bergamot, lemon and chinotto peel. Green mandarin orange and violet leaf then pull the citrus towards green. In the base, oakmoss, copaiba balsam and frankincense absolute leave it spicy, woody and slightly smoky.
