What does Caldo Legnoso smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evenings and nights out lead the occasions, though it also works for leisure time. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters read it as masculine, with a fair share calling it classic.

As a whole it smells warm and sweet. Benzoin and vanilla give a soft, resinous sweetness, which tonka bean deepens. Patchouli and vetiver add an earthy weight, while Indian sandalwood brings a creamy woodiness. The spicy and smoky accords stay in the background.
