What does Ballo in Maschera smell like?

The top opens with Turkish rose, saffron, green mandarin orange and hyacinth, so citrus and flowers arrive together. At the heart, tiaré, tuberose and sweet corn fill out the floral side with a soft, fruity note. The base of vanilla, sandalwood and ambergris sweetens it and settles it onto a warm footing.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though few people have voted, so treat those ratings as a tendency. It sits comfortably on any skin, neither clearly masculine nor feminine. Creed Silver Mountain Water and Loewe Aire Loco have a close profile.
