What does Quattroventi - Maestrale smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without disappearing. Voters place it evenly across daytime, the office and evenings, with leisure and nights out not far behind. It is classed as a feminine perfume.

It opens with lemon, bergamot and mandarin orange alongside jasmine and white blossoms. In the heart, sage, cistus, basil and lavender add a green, lightly spicy freshness. Ambergris, sandalwood, vetiver and cedarwood settle the florals onto a woody, powdery base. Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Baïmé and Jovoy Les 7 Parfums Capitaux - Hesperidé have a close profile.
