What does Venezia Essenza pour Homme smell like?

The top is petitgrain, bergamot and nutmeg; in the heart, vetiver, palo santo and labdanum build a woody, resinous, slightly smoky base. Musk, coffee and leather dominate the end, so the scent softens into a gourmand, creamy, leathery sweetness.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, then spring, and almost none choose summer. It leans towards leisure, night out and evening wear, and most voters read it as masculine and classic. Yves Saint Laurent 6 Place Saint Sulpice and Lubin Korrigan have a close profile.
