What does Nettuno smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter and summer a little behind. Leisure, business and daily wear lead the occasions, with evening close behind. Feminine and masculine votes sit very near each other, so it leans comfortably both ways.

It opens with ginger, pink pepper and nutmeg for a fresh, spicy lift, softened by cyclamen's floral touch. Rose sits in the heart. In the base, vetiver, white musk, leather, iris and benzoin dry down into a woody, creamy, powdery warmth.
