What does Cimabue (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters wear it in the evening or on a night out, with leisure wear a distant third and the office the least chosen setting. It reads neither masculine nor feminine.
It opens with bitter orange, lemon and bergamot for a bright lift, while cardamom and nutmeg add spice. In the heart, rose, tuberose, clove and cinnamon give it a floral, spiced body. The base settles into vanilla, labdanum and sandalwood, leaving a sweet, resinous and woody finish.
