What does Santa Casa smell like?

It opens with amber, vanilla, moss and sandalwood side by side, with benzoin and ambrette softening the sweetness. The heart brings gallic rose, tobacco and marine notes, and the base holds bergamot, orange and frankincense. The overall impression is sweet, woody, spicy and lightly smoky.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters suggest fall, spring and winter, with summer further behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and also works for daytime and the office. More voters call it masculine, though a good number read it as feminine.
