What does Giambellino smell like?

It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange, orange and lemon. In the heart, geranium, lavender and jasmine sambac bring a floral, slightly spicy turn. In the base, patchouli, vanilla and caramel sweeten and soften the whole.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Voters lean most towards fall, then spring, and pick it for evenings, leisure and nights out. Masculine and feminine votes are equal, so it sits comfortably on either side. Memo Paris Corfu and Xerjoff Verde Accento have a close profile.
