Eau de Toilette

Luciano Pavarotti Eau de Toilette is a classic-leaning men's scent that moves from a floral, green start into a spicy, resinous base; it has been discontinued. Bergamot, Sicilian lemon and neroli open fresh, while petitgrain and ivy add a green edge. In the heart, Damask rose, iris, clove and cedar lead, with patchouli and geranium adding an earthy depth to the floral layer. The base of amber, vanilla, tonka bean, honey and oakmoss sweetens it and pulls it towards a powdery, slightly smoky, leathery chypre feel. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evening and night out. Most voters read it as masculine and classic. Moresque Amber Arabesque and Davidoff Zino (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.

Luciano Pavarotti · 1999

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Luciano Pavarotti Luciano is a fresh men's fragrance built on citrus and green notes, rounded out with spice and wood; it has been discontinued. It opens bright and green with tangerine, lemon, bergamot and galbanum, while tarragon and lavender pull it toward the herbal side. In the heart, clove, nutmeg and violet add a spicy, slightly powdery softness. The base of cedarwood, sandalwood and tonka bean is woody, sweet and creamy, with frankincense lending a smoky touch. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Voters place it mostly in leisure and daily wear, with night out and evening close behind. It is classed as a men's fragrance.

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Luciano Pavarotti Pavarotti Donna is a feminine fragrance that sets a fruity, sweet floral character on an earthy, woody chypre base; it has been discontinued. Its longevity and sillage are rated as good, though from only a small number of votes. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, with winter less favoured. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and business, and also draws votes for evening and nights out. It opens with white peach, pineapple and orange blossom for a juicy sweetness. The heart is a floral mix of gardenia, jasmine, Damask rose and violet. Patchouli, oakmoss, sandalwood and iris dry it down into a woody, earthy chypre. Hermès 24, Faubourg and Cerruti Nino Cerruti pour Femme have a close profile.
