Eau de Toilette

Domenico Caraceni Eau de Toilette is a classic-leaning men's fragrance that sets floral and spicy tones against woody, powdery and smoky ones. Most voters pick autumn, then winter, and it suits evenings and nights out. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Half of voters read it as masculine and a third as classic. It opens with petitgrain, Bourbon geranium and styrax, then moves into rose absolute, neroli and tobacco. Cypress and frankincense leave a resinous, earthy dryness at the base.

Lorèn

7.1

Domenico Caraceni · 2006

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Domenico Caraceni Lorèn is a unisex scent that pairs fresh citrus with a floral, fruity sweetness, finished with powdery and spicy touches; it has been discontinued. It opens with lemon, orange and mandarin orange in a bright citrus layer. In the heart, rose, jasmine, lily and ylang-ylang carry the floral body, while plum, peach and raspberry add a fruity sweetness. The base of vanilla, musk and heliotrope softens it into a powdery finish, with cinnamon adding a spicy warmth. Longevity is rated very strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so those impressions are tentative. The balance suits both men and women. Korres Heliotrope | Ylang-Ylang | Citron and Parfums MDCI Vêpres Siciliennes have a close profile.
