What does Drago Nero smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Voters wear it most in fall and spring, for leisure and daytime use, and it fits the office too. On character, masculine leads the votes, though a sizeable share reads it as feminine.

It opens with the fruity brightness of pineapple, bergamot and Calabrian mandarin orange, softened by magnolia. In the heart, rose, violet and iris build a floral layer, with Bourbon pepper adding a spicy edge. The base of vetiver, oak wood, sandalwood and amber dries down sweet, woody and smoky. Montblanc Individuel (Eau de Toilette) and Diesel Diesel Green Feminine have a close profile.
