Notte Bianca

Fresh · Citrus · Green
Linari Notte Bianca is a unisex scent that opens fresh, green and spicy with star anise, bergamot and basil, then moves into clove and blond woods.
At first, bergamot, Italian orange and pink grapefruit bring the citrus forward, while star anise and basil add a green, spicy edge. In the heart, clove, sage, absinth and cashmere wood take over, and the scent turns woody and dry. Haitian vetiver, white musk, tonka bean and amber soften it at the base.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer not far behind, and it leans towards leisure, business and daily wear. Most voters read it as masculine, though a good share call it feminine, so it sits comfortably on either. Its profile is close to Creed Viking and Acqua di Parma Cedro di Taormina.
