Smoke

Goti Essenze · 2013

Fruity · Sweet · Spicy

Goti Essenze Smoke is a unisex scent built on frankincense, ebony and resins, with pomegranate and ginger adding a sweet, spicy edge to its smoky woods. Most voters pick fall, then winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it reads comfortably on either side. The top pairs cedar with pomegranate: a dry woody firmness lifted by something fruity and sweet. Ginger in the heart brings spice. The base is where it settles, with frankincense, ebony and resins giving a resinous, smoky, oriental warmth. Parfums de Marly Habdan and Amouage Jubilation XXV Man have a close profile.

Visione 2 Fuoco

7.8

Goti Essenze · 2016

Citrus · Fruity · Sweet

Goti Essenze Visione 2 Fuoco is a unisex scent that sets the brightness of bergamot and fruits against spices, labdanum and frankincense; it has been discontinued. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring following and summer well behind. It leans towards evening and night-out wear, with some votes for leisure and business too. It reads a little more masculine than feminine. The citrus and fruity accords come from the bergamot and fruits, and together with the sweetness they give a lively start. Spices and labdanum pull it towards an oriental, resinous side. Frankincense adds a woody, smoky depth and an earthy weight.

Gray

7.1

Goti Essenze · 2013

Fresh · Green · Fruity

Goti Essenze Gray is a unisex scent built around eucalyptus, blackberry and blackcurrant, with a fresh, green and fruity character. Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin and wears quietly. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring. It leans towards office and leisure wear rather than nights out. It opens with eucalyptus and sambuca, cool and lightly spicy. In the heart, blackberry and blackcurrant bring a fruity, green-tinged sweetness. Myrtle in the base settles it into a woody, green finish. The overall impression is clean and lively, with a slightly synthetic sheen.

Visione 2 Aria

7.0

Goti Essenze · 2016

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Goti Essenze Visione 2 Aria is a fresh, citrusy unisex scent whose green, floral side is softened by a sweet, fruity touch. It has been discontinued. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Voters place it mostly in leisure and evening wear, with some choosing it for nights out and the office. Being unisex, it doesn't lean toward one gender. The notes read as a single whole: citrus notes and fruits give it a bright, sweet face. Pine needle and lavender add a green, woody edge, tuberose brings a creamy floral softness, and spices leave a light warmth in the background.

Earth (2013)

7.1

Goti Essenze · 2013

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Goti Essenze Earth opens on lemon and builds around rosemary, laurel and sage, making a fresh, green, lightly spicy unisex scent. The lemon top note brightens the start, then rosemary, laurel and sage form a dry, herbal heart. Vanilla sits underneath and softens that green character with a little sweetness, while the citrus and woody accords stay in the background. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without overwhelming a room. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Goutal Les Colognes - Vétiver and Kiehl's Fig Leaf & Sage have a close profile.
