What does Dionisio smell like?

It lasts strongly and projects well. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and choose it for nights out and evenings. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads as sitting between the two.

Ambergris, musk and pheromones open it. In the heart, jasmine and lily of the valley join the vanilla, and in the base Bourbon vanilla merges with oud and musk, giving a creamy, powdery, spicy and resinous finish. The gourmand sweetness stays dominant throughout, balanced by a smoky woody base. Solange Azagury-Partridge Stoned and Musicology Close to Midnight have a close profile.
