WoodyWhat does Essenza del Tempo smell like?
It wears close to the skin, with moderate longevity and weak sillage. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with business use close behind. Opinion is split on whether it reads masculine or feminine.
It opens with bergamot and ginger, softened by ambrette seed, carrot seed and ambergris. In the heart, tropical blossoms and iris add a floral, fruity touch. Cedarwood sets a woody base, with coffee and balsamico vinegar staying in the background. Prada Luna Rossa Eau Sport and Police Pure pour Homme have a close profile.
