What does Bergamotto di Calabria smell like?

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most often. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it sits comfortably on either.

The opening is bright and lightly spicy, with bergamot, pink pepper and Sichuan pepper. In the heart, neroli, orange blossom and jasmine bring a soft floral note. The base of sandalwood, vetiver, iris and musk dries the scent down to a clean, woody finish.
