What does Ottone smell like?

It opens bright and green with rose, bergamot and petitgrain. In the heart, clove, cinnamon, oregano and pepper pull it towards a dry, spicy side. The base of frankincense, sandalwood and cedarwood leaves a woody, smoky, earthy finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, though summer and winter also get votes. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office, and works in the evening too. It reads mostly masculine and classic. Nobile 1942 Pontevecchio and Marni Marni have a close profile.
