Pozzo di Borgo · 2014

Fresh · Floral · Green

Pozzo di Borgo 19 Mai 1957 is a men's fragrance that pairs a fresh, green character with a sweet, creamy softness. Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable up close without filling a room. The votes are few, so these ratings give only a rough idea. Lavender, eucalyptus and oregano give it a clean, green, lightly spiced side. Sea mist keeps that freshness open, while heliotrope and amber sweeten the scent and move it toward a creamy warmth. Cistus and immortelle add an herbal depth inside the sweetness. With no top, heart and base split, it reads as one whole from start to finish. Santa Maria Novella Magnolia (Eau de Parfum) and Nishane Ambra Calabria have a close profile.
