Gandini · 2019

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Gandini Agrumi del Mediterraneo is a fresh, citrus-led women's fragrance that sits close to daytime wear, leisure and the office. Grapefruit, bergamot and mandarin orange open bright and citrusy. In the heart, pepper, bamboo and white tea push that freshness in a green, lightly spiced direction. Amber, heliotrope and musk soften the base, while aquatic and floral touches stay in the background. Voters pick it mostly for daily wear, leisure and work, and some also choose it for sport. Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it is a light scent for staying close to the skin. Tom Ford Mandarino di Amalfi and Elizabeth Arden Green Tea have a close profile.

Eau de Toilette

Gandini Tabacco Eau de Toilette is a fresh, woody fragrance for men that suits spring and autumn days, whether at leisure or at the office. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring, and leisure and business are the most common settings. Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it neither fills a room nor disappears quickly. It opens with artemisia, mint and tobacco flower, which give it a fresh feel. Orange blossom and lavender add a soft floral touch in the heart. The base of sandalwood, cedar, amber, musk and vanilla settles into a sweet, woody and slightly smoky warmth.

Gandini · 2010

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Gandini Pompelmo ed Agrumi / Grapefruit and Citrus is a fresh, green and lightly spicy citrus scent led by grapefruit, lemon and bergamot, and it is described as unisex. It opens with tangerine, lemon, grapefruit and bergamot in a bright citrus cluster. In the heart, lavender, rosemary, jasmine and star anise add an herbal, gently spiced turn. The base of vetiver, musk and ambrette seed dries it down soft and clean. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it suits someone who wants a light scent to carry through the day. The vote count is small, so that reading should be taken with care. Boadicea the Victorious Energizer and Xerjoff Torino21 have a close profile.
