What does Culture by Tabac: Arena di Roma (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, though the small number of votes means these figures are only a rough guide. It is classed as a men's fragrance.

It opens with elemi resin, red pepper and apple, while laurel and mugwort add a bitter edge. In the heart, juniper, caraway and cardamom carry the spice, softened by violet and lavender. The base of amber, oud, sandalwood and tonka bean settles into a resinous, oriental, warm woody finish.
