What does Frutto della Passione smell like?

It opens with green mandarin orange, Sicilian bergamot and rosebud, with jasmine and ylang-ylang adding a floral glow. In the heart, passion fruit, pink grapefruit and pineapple build the fruity side, while neroli and cinnamon leaf soften it and add a light spice. It dries down into vanilla, sandalwood and white musk, sweet and powdery.

Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters suggest spring and summer, though autumn is not far behind. Daily wear, leisure and business are the most common settings. Nearly half of voters call it feminine.
