Acqua Nobile (Eau de Parfum)

Its longevity and sillage are moderate: it neither overwhelms people nearby nor fades quickly. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. More voters read it as masculine, though a fair number call it feminine.

It opens bright and lightly spicy with neroli, Sicilian mandarin orange, cardamom and bergamot. In the heart, myrrh, geranium and orange blossom add a floral, green side. The base of labdanum, sandalwood, leather, patchouli and tonka bean settles it into a woody, slightly sweet finish. Prada Amber pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) and Roberto Cavalli Just Cavalli Wild Blue have a close profile.
