What does Colonia Toscana smell like?

Voters find both its longevity and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and quiet. Daytime, business and leisure wear lead the votes, while night out is rarely chosen. Most voters call it masculine, though a sizeable group reads it as feminine.

It opens with a bright citrus layer of lemon, mandarin orange, orange and bergamot. The heart brings lily of the valley, lavender, neroli, rose, rosemary and jasmine, adding a floral, green softness. White musk in the base keeps everything clean and light. Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza and Penhaligon's Eau de Cologne have a close profile.
