Ciro Columbine (2019) is a unisex scent that sets bright bergamot and mandarin against the soft, powdery sweetness of iris, osmanthus and vanilla.
It opens with Calabrian bergamot, mandarin orange, African marigold and Tabac Bourbon. In the heart, iris, neroli, osmanthus absolute and pink pepper add spice to a powdery floral core. The base of suede, vetiver, vanilla absolute, benzoin absolute and musk dries down sweet, with a faint leathery edge.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and leisure, night out, business and evening wear are voted almost evenly. More voters call it feminine, but a fair number find it masculine, so it leans both ways. Tom Ford Violet Blonde and Yves Saint Laurent Capeline have a close profile.
