What does Maestro smell like?

It opens with orange, bergamot and blackcurrant for a fruity brightness, while liqueur softens this into something rounder and sweeter. In the heart, amber, leather and rose bring the floral and leathery sides together. The base of vanilla, musk, patchouli and sandalwood carries it into a warm, spicy, woody oriental feel.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, each scoring 8.3 out of 10. It leaves a dense, noticeable trail, so it suits people who like a scent to be noticed and who lean towards sweet, characterful perfumes. It reads neither masculine nor feminine.
