What does Forte + Forte smell like?

The top is tarragon, petitgrain, lemon, Sicilian orange, grapefruit and bergamot, with lavender alongside that bright opening. Clove, jasmine and Florentine iris add a soft floral heart. The base of white musk, patchouli, oakmoss and tonka bean grounds it gently, and a synthetic edge runs through the accords.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters link it to daily wear, leisure and the office. Solinotes Yuzu and Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza share a close profile.
