What does Vinegia smell like?

It opens with apple blossom, coriander and pink pepper, floral and spicy at once. The heart brings rose, juniper and cypress, and the base of benzoin, oud, castoreum, cedarwood and patchouli pulls it towards sweet, resinous, earthy and smoky ground. Leathery and animal tones add to the heavy, oriental character.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night out lead the occasions. More voters call it feminine, though a good share find it masculine. Stephen Cordina Gnaga and Montale Aoud Queen Roses have a close profile.
