What does Quattroventi - Grecale smell like?

The top of hyacinth, geranium, orange, lemon and lily of the valley is floral and fruity. In the heart, clove, nutmeg, frankincense and lavender bring spice and resin, while cedarwood, opoponax and ambergris settle it onto a sweet, oriental, woody base.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, and most voters pick fall and winter. It is chosen most for evenings and nights out, though it also suits leisure and daily wear. Omnia Profumi Granato and M. Micallef Délice have a close profile.
