What does Zefiro smell like?

Zefiro opens with bergamot, davana, elemi resin and wine must, fresh but with a fruity edge. In the heart, carnation, cinnamon and cardamom bring the spice forward, while iris softens it a little. At the base, honey and amber sweeten the scent, and frankincense and oud add a dark, resinous, smoky depth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, with summer well behind. It is worn for evenings, leisure and nights out. Most voters call it masculine, though it reads as unisex. The Dua Brand Bois Oudh and Rirana Honey Amber have a close profile.
