What does Cefalù smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, with fewer choosing winter. It leans towards leisure, office and daily wear, and also gets votes for evening and nights out. Opinion is split on whether it reads masculine or feminine, so it sits somewhere in between.
It opens with pink pepper, bergamot and blackcurrant bud, a fresh start with a light spicy edge. In the heart, jasmine, frankincense and ambergris bring out the floral side. In the base, vanilla sweetens the scent, while amberwood, patchouli and oakmoss give it a woody, earthy footing.
