Classic and familiar smelling (this is a revamp of the 1916 Colonia, after all) Essenza is a light, very clean, feelgood masculine fragrance that smacks of refinement and Italian chic. "Refreshing" and "luxury" are words that spring to mind and spring/summer are the seasons where it will shine, but I believe it could be worn all year round. Longevity and projection are not stellar, though being a myperfumeshop.com.au

I know this fragrance catches a lot of hate in the community and constantly gets labeled as an f boy fragrance, but to me this is the ultimate example of being hated for greatness. There is a reason Dior Sauvage has been one of the best selling fragrances for over a decade. The opening hits with that bright, fresh burst of bergamot that immediately grabs attention, followed by a spicy peppery kick Jon M · influenster.com
