What does Italian Decorum smell like?

Mint, Italian mandarin orange, Sicilian and Calabrian bergamot and basil lead the composition, giving it a bright, green feel. Cypress and galbanum keep the greenery going, while labdanum, Iceland moss and Indonesian patchouli add a resinous, woody, earthy base. The citrus sweetness is balanced by spicy touches.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters don't settle on one season: autumn is slightly ahead, with spring and summer close behind. Leisure, daily wear and business are the most chosen occasions. Tom Ford Italian Cypress and Casamorati Harrods have a close profile.
