What does Eau de Dolce Vita smell like?

It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange and grapefruit for a sparkling citrus lift, softened by pear blossom. The heart turns floral with freesia, peony and jasmine sambac, while white pepper adds a light touch of spice. In the base, sandalwood, osmanthus and vanilla leave a woody, powdery sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it suits leisure, daily and office wear best. It reads as feminine.
