What does Deriva smell like?

The top opens bright and fresh with Zanzibar cardamom, Calabrian bergamot, Brazilian pineapple and Italian lemon. In the heart, Italian gardenia, raspberry and patchouli carry the floral and fruity character, while pink pepper adds a light spice. The base turns sweeter and creamier, with Bourbon vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood and Virginia tobacco on a woody footing.

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, though the number of ratings is small, so this is only a rough guide. The profile suits men and women alike. Tiziana Terenzi Rivèa and G Parfums Fatal Seduction have a close profile.
