What does Aqua Allegoria Gentiana smell like?

The top is lime, bergamot, orange and grapefruit, bright and sharp at first. Pear and gentian in the heart bring a fruity, green softness. In the base, vanilla, musk and sandalwood sweeten it slightly and settle it on a woody ground.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, with leisure, daily wear and the office named most often. More voters call it feminine than anything else. Its profile is close to Phaedon Antigua and Bois 1920 Agrumi Amari di Sicilia.
