SmokyWhat does Garofano smell like?
It opens with lavender, green notes and floral notes, and carnation, rose and jasmine carry the heart. In the base, musk, vanilla and heliotrope sweeten it and soften it into a powdery finish. Spicy, earthy and woody accents add depth without weighing the flowers down.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it suits evenings, nights out and leisure time. Votes on character split almost evenly between feminine and masculine, so it sits genuinely in between. Lorenzo Villoresi Vintage Collection - Garofano and Chanel Jersey (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
