What does Pontevecchio (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Mandarin orange, bergamot and frankincense open green and bright. In the heart, rose, jasmine, Florentine iris and geranium build a floral layer, while rosewood and cedarwood pull it toward wood. Sandalwood, vetiver and patchouli add an earthy depth at the base, and musk softens it all.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, and it leans toward daily wear and the office. Most voters read it as masculine and classic. Etro Shaal Nur and Beaufort Acrasia have a close profile.
