What does Palmarola smell like?
Citrus comes first: lemon and bergamot give it a fresh, green start. In the heart, jasmine sambac adds a soft floral note, and the base of nagarmotha and gaiac wood dries down woody, spicy and powdery, with a faint animal edge.
Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without overwhelming the room. Most voters place it in daily wear, leisure and office settings, with evening and night out less common. It has been discontinued.
