What does Il Padrino smell like?

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. It reads more masculine than feminine, though a fair share of voters call it feminine. Parfums d'Elmar Zaya and French Avenue Amber Empire have a close profile.

It opens with bergamot alongside amaretto and rum, with blackcurrant adding a fruity sweetness. In the heart, amber, sandalwood and patchouli blossom give it a woody body. The base settles into a creamy, warm, oriental sweetness of labdanum, Siam benzoin and vanilla.
