Our Verdict - Casanova

Casanova is a powdery amber powerhouse that polarises with its potent sillage and longevity. Some find it a masterpiece of warmth and sophistication, while others are put off by its sweetness and intensity. You'll either adore its Venetian richness or find it overwhelms.

Best for evening wear, formal events, or dramatic occasions where you want a commanding presence. Its strength and sillage are likely too intense for office or sporty settings.
