What does Essenza di Roma smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters recommend spring and fall, though summer is not far behind; leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. It reads mostly feminine, with a fair share calling it modern.

The mandarin orange opening brings the freshness. The heart holds almond, cyclamen and woody notes, with the almond nudging the scent toward the gourmand and the cyclamen carrying the floral side. In the base, sandalwood and vanilla take over, and the scent dries down sweet and powdery. Laura Biagiotti Mistero di Roma Donna and Chanel Allure (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
