What does Roberto Cavalli Essenza smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring third. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and also gets worn for leisure. Most voters read it as feminine.
It opens with bitter almond, and orange blossom absolute sits at the heart. Vanilla absolute sweetens the base, while fruity, spicy and oriental touches round out the powdery, gourmand feel.
