What does Cortigiana smell like?

It opens with black cherry and floral notes, then moves into vanilla and almond at the heart for a gourmand sweetness. Iris and herbs in the base steady that sweetness on a powdery, lightly spicy footing; overall it reads floral and fruity.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters place it in spring or summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Most voters call it feminine. Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire and Lancôme La Vie est Belle L'Eau de Parfum have a close profile.
