What does Verano / Montabaco Verano smell like?

The opening pairs the citrus of grapefruit, orange absolute and bergamot with the green edge of juniper and clary sage. In the heart, violet, magnolia and rose are softened by tea. The base dries down to tobacco, tonka bean, sandalwood and suede, with a leathery, spicy warmth staying in the background.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter well behind. It leans toward leisure, business and daily wear. Most voters read it as masculine, though it is presented as unisex. Ormonde Jayne Montabaco Flor and Montabaco Cuba have a close profile.
