What does Cicuta smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind. It is chosen most for nights out, then for leisure and evening wear. Voters tend to read it as feminine and classic.

It opens with bergamot, orange and clementine for a fresh citrus start. In the heart, coriander, Bulgarian rose and rose add a floral, lightly spicy side. The base of musk, vanilla and amber settles it into a creamy, sweet and woody finish. Xerjoff Nero70 and Roja Parfums A Midsummer Dream have a close profile.
