What does Messaggero smell like?

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, so it stays on the skin for hours without filling the room. Its creamy, sweet build suits both women and men.

It opens with Omani frankincense, Bulgarian rose and Sicilian grapefruit. The heart turns creamy and floral with lactone, orange blossom, coconut and violet leaf. The base of coumarin, patchouli, musk, vanilla and caramel carries it into a sweet, powdery dry-down.
