What does Cor Gentile smell like?

Cor Gentile is rated as lasting well, with moderate sillage. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring, and it is mostly worn for nights out, leisure and daily use. Opinion is split on whether it reads masculine or feminine, with a slight lean towards feminine.

The top of myrrh, black pepper and juniper berry gives a spicy, fresh start. In the heart, rose, lily, carnation and camellia add a floral, powdery softness. The base of Russian leather, vanilla, sandalwood and patchouli leaves a creamy, resinous, sweet trail. Rasasi Daarej pour Homme and Valentino Valentina Myrrh Assoluto have a close profile.
