What does Varens Original - Italian Romance smell like?
It opens on lime and bergamot, bright and slightly sharp. At the heart, orange blossom and lily of the valley soften that brightness and bring the floral side forward. The base of resins, patchouli and woody notes adds a chypre-like depth with a light spicy touch, while a fruity nuance stays in the background without dulling the freshness. Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin and Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Lemon Fresca have a close profile.
