What does Colonia Nobile smell like?

Longevity and sillage are moderate: it neither dominates the room nor disappears quickly. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Votes are split almost evenly between masculine and feminine.

The opening is a citrusy, green freshness from petitgrain and bergamot. In the heart, benzoin sweetens it and adds a resinous warmth, while ambroxan leaves a clean, woody trail at the base. A light spicy touch stays in the background. Casamorati Harrods and Acqua di Sicilia have a close profile.
