What does Biscotti smell like?

Bergamot and orange blossom give it a citrusy lift, while freesia adds a light floral touch. Vanilla and pistachio blossom pull it towards a gourmand, powdery sweetness with a faint woody edge. The overall impression is fruity, soft and easygoing.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and office use lead the occasions. Most voters read it as feminine, though some call it masculine. Ulric de Varens Varens & Moi - L'Amour and Kenzo Couleur Kenzo Jaune-Yellow have a close profile.
