What does Quattroventi - Scirocco smell like?

The top holds jasmine, lilac, patchouli and bergamot, so the floral side leads from the start. In the heart, iris, ginger, thyme and cardamom push it towards powdery and spicy. The base of white moss, cedarwood, vetiver and ebony lays down an earthy, resinous, woody ground, while sweet and fruity touches soften it.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage moderate. Voters pick it most for nights out and evenings, with leisure, daily wear and the office also getting votes. Being unisex, it suits men and women alike. Van Cleef & Arpels Precious Oud and Fragonard Rêve Indien have a close profile.
