CreamyWhat does Spicy Calabria smell like?
It opens sharp and bright with sweet lime, bergamot and ginger, while absinthe wormwood adds a faint bitter edge. In the heart, black pepper and oud come forward, softened by iris. The base of labdanum, cedarwood and patchouli pulls the scent towards sweet, smoky and leathery ground.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the votes are few, so these ratings are tentative. Its spicy, woody build suits cooler weather better, and it sits comfortably on both men and women.
