What does Colonia Veneziana smell like?

It opens bright and crisp with orange, lemon, bergamot and rosemary. In the heart, iris, clary sage and ginger pull the citrus towards a lightly spicy tone. Cedarwood and moss close it on a woody, earthy base, while the aquatic and fruity sides run through the whole scent.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. It is classed as a men's fragrance with a fresh, easygoing character. Creed Millésime Impérial and Pino Silvestre Acqua Di Pino Cologne have a close profile.
