What does Rosso Pompei smell like?
Both longevity and sillage are rated strong. It suits leisure and daytime wear and is also chosen for a night out. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair share call it feminine, so it sits somewhere in between.
It opens with Italian lemon, pink grapefruit and Amalfi grape, a bright, fruity start. In the heart, Mexican tuberose and magnolia add a floral softness wrapped in ambergris. The base of patchouli, Lebanon cedar and Indian sandalwood settles it onto a woody, lightly sweet footing.
