What does Pontaccio 21 (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The opening pairs lime, rosemary, neroli, mandarin orange and cardamom, so the citrus is sharpened by spice. In the heart, sage, cypress, narcissus, jasmine and rose add a floral softness. The base of myrrh, angelica, suede, patchouli and musk leaves a resinous, woody, animal and leathery trail.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters link it most with evenings and nights out, though daily, leisure and business wear also get votes. It reads masculine. Mendittorosa Orlo and Pineider Cuoio Nobile have a close profile.
