What does Deseo smell like?
It opens with bamboo leaf, yuzu, bergamot and freesia in a light, airy start. At the heart, orange blossom, jasmine and mimosa bring a floral softness, spiced by nutmeg. The base of musk, oakmoss and sandalwood settles it onto a woody, lightly sweet footing.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily and leisure wear lead the occasions. Most see it as feminine. Mülhens Sumatra Rain and Ralph Lauren Polo Sport have a close profile.
