What does Mandarino di Amalfi Acqua smell like?

Most voters pick summer and spring, and the occasions it fits are leisure, daily wear and the office. Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Voters are split between masculine and feminine, which makes it easy for anyone to wear.

The opening is led by grapefruit, bergamot, Italian mandarin orange and tarragon, giving a fresh, green, aquatic start. In the heart, orange blossom, jasmine and black pepper add a floral, lightly spiced turn. Vetiver, amber and musk soften the base. Tom Ford Mandarino di Amalfi (Eau de Parfum) and D'Qar Amalfi have a close profile.
