What does Menestrello smell like?

It opens with bright, fruity blackcurrant and cranberry, softened by ambergris and Philippine elemi. In the heart, benzoin and Italian lavender lead while Cambodian oud adds a spicy, woody depth. The base settles into Lebanon cedar, musk and Indian patchouli, with floral and green touches sitting behind a sweet woodiness.

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, though the vote count is small, so these ratings are tentative. It reads balanced enough to suit both women and men. V Canto Arsenico and Areej Le Doré Campucha have a close profile.
