What does Corteccia smell like?

Most voters pick fall, then spring, and it is mostly chosen for daily wear, leisure and the office. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, and most voters read it as masculine.

The top opens with orange, grapefruit and bergamot, while cardamom and coriander add spice. In the heart, sandalwood and cedarwood build a woody frame that cinnamon and apple sweeten. The base of musk, tonka bean and Siam benzoin leaves a powdery, sweet trail. Cartier Must pour Homme and L'Erbolario Assenzio have a close profile.
