What does Cortile smell like?

Cortile is presented as unisex, though most voters read it as feminine. Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Spring and summer lead the season votes, with fall and winter well behind. It sits closer to leisure and daily wear, with some room for evenings and the office.

The top opens with Guatemala coffee bean, bergamot, violet leaf absolute and cinnamon. In the heart, osmanthus, ylang-ylang, jasmine sambac and tuberose build a floral core. Indonesian sandalwood, amber and suede in the base soften it and add sweetness.
