What does Aperitivo Milanese Porta Nuova smell like?

It opens with Calabrian bergamot, Italian neroli and mandarin orange leaf, giving a citrus lift. In the heart, heliotrope, iris and amaretto turn it powdery and gourmand, and the base of vanilla, benzoin and amber settles into a creamy, sweet warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some votes for office and evening. In the character votes, the feminine side comes out ahead.
