What does Ombra di Tiglio smell like?

Its longevity is moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and wears quietly. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. It reads mostly feminine.

It opens with lemon zest and two white flowers, bright and citrusy. In the heart, violet leaf adds a green edge while damask rose, lily and heliotrope bring a soft, powdery floral feel. White moss and amber sweeten the base gently, and a light spicy touch runs through the accords. Its fresh, green, floral profile is close to L'Artisan Parfumeur La Chasse aux Papillons Extrême and Guerlain Quand Vient la Pluie (Eau de Parfum).
