La Collina Toscana Rocca della Signoria opens with star anise and bergamot, then settles into frankincense, cedarwood and patchouli: a fresh, spicy and woody women's fragrance that suits fall and winter evenings.

What does Rocca della Signoria smell like?

Bergamot and star anise lead, giving a fresh, spicy start. In the heart, frankincense adds a resinous, slightly smoky tone. The base is built on cedarwood, patchouli and sandalwood, with sweet and powdery touches softening the woods.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring has a fair share too. It leans towards evening and leisure wear, and also gets votes for daily and office use. It reads mostly feminine, with a sizeable share finding it masculine. S.T. Dupont Noble Wood and Locherber Agathis Amber have a close profile.
