What does Smalto (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and the votes spread evenly across daily wear, leisure, business and evening, with a clearly masculine character.

Artemisia, absinth, lavender and bergamot give the top a fresh, green start. Nutmeg, chamomile, fir balsam, cedar and sandalwood build a woody, spicy, resinous heart. In the base, tonka bean, oakmoss and vanilla bring sweetness and a soft powdery finish.
