Eau de Toilette

Francesco Smalto Eau de Toilette is a classic masculine fougère that pairs the freshness of lavender and citrus with the smoky, earthy tones of leather, patchouli and oakmoss; it has been discontinued. It opens with lavender, rosemary, bergamot and tarragon, giving a green, spicy freshness. In the heart, cedar, patchouli and carnation lead and set the scent on a woody, earthy footing. The base leaves a resinous, slightly smoky character through leather, amber, musk and oakmoss. Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, and favour fall and spring, then winter. Use is spread fairly evenly between business, daily wear and evenings. Half of voters find it masculine, and many call it classic. Charles Jourdan Un Homme and Laura Biagiotti Biagiotti Uomo have a close profile.

Eau de Toilette

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and the votes spread evenly across daily wear, leisure, business and evening, with a clearly masculine character. Artemisia, absinth, lavender and bergamot give the top a fresh, green start. Nutmeg, chamomile, fir balsam, cedar and sandalwood build a woody, spicy, resinous heart. In the base, tonka bean, oakmoss and vanilla bring sweetness and a soft powdery finish.

The top holds Vietnamese white pepper, Sri Lankan cardamom and pineapple, with gun powder and honeydew melon adding a spicy, fruity edge. In the heart, jasmine, rose and lily of the valley bring a soft, powdery floral note. The base leans on leather, vanilla, Java vetiver and Jamaican rum, leaving a sweet, smoky, earthy oriental trail. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, while winter and summer trail behind. Leisure and daily wear lead the occasions, with business and evening getting fewer votes. Karl Lagerfeld Sun Moon Stars and Laura Biagiotti Roma have a close profile.
