What does Aqua Allegoria Forte Rosa Palissandro smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, though it also works in summer. It leans towards daily wear and leisure, and suits the office too. Most voters read it as feminine, but a fair number find it masculine.
It opens with bergamot, violet and cardamom, then moves into a heart of Turkish rose absolute, rosewood and coriander seed. The floral side stays fresh and spicy. The base of sandalwood, patchouli and musk dries down woody and earthy.
