Performance Metrics

For a fragrance built around citrus and white florals, Giuseppe appears to perform well. Longevity votes lean long lasting, and sillage sits around moderate to strong, though wearer feedback suggests it often settles closer to the skin after the opening. In practice, it seems more durable than a traditional fresh cologne, but still wears with restraint rather than force.
Notes Pyramid
Search these notesChoose where each note belongs.
Giuseppe smells bright, citrusy and white floral from the start, with neroli and orange blossom leading the way. Lemon, bergamot and bitter orange keep it lively, while lavender adds a light aromatic edge. In the dry-down it becomes softer, cleaner and more musky, with ambroxan giving the finish a modern, polished feel.
Main Accords
11 MAPPEDThe citrus accord is vivid and natural-feeling, but not sharply sour. White florals give it body and a smooth, luminous quality, while the musky and ambery materials keep the base clean instead of heavy. The fresh spicy and aromatic facets add lift, so the fragrance stays crisp and breathable rather than creamy or overly soft.

EDITORIAL“Giuseppe Review”
Giuseppe is one of those citrus fragrances that tells you what it is quite quickly. The opening is bright with neroli, orange blossom, lemon and bitter orange, and the effect is sunny, crisp and immediately clean. It does not chase sharpness for its own sake. Instead, it leans into a smoother, more polished citrus style that feels easy to wear from the first few minutes.
What keeps it from feeling too simple is the floral and musky structure underneath. Orange blossom and jasmine sambac give the scent a soft white floral glow, while lavender adds a light aromatic touch. As it settles, ambroxan, musk and ambretone give it a cleaner, more modern texture. That shift matters, because Giuseppe does not stay as a classic splashy cologne. It moves toward something more diffusive, smooth and contemporary.
On skin, the fragrance usually reads airy rather than dense. The citrus is the hook, but the musks are what help it last beyond the opening. Reviews describe it as one of the lighter and softer releases from the house, which fits the structure well. Even with that softer profile, the performance data is stronger than many fresh scents in this style, so it may satisfy buyers who want freshness without giving up wear time too quickly.
The mood is clean, bright and quietly elegant. Giuseppe feels most at home in spring and summer, especially in daytime. Office wear, smart casual settings, travel and warm-weather daily use all make sense here. It is easy to imagine on someone who wants a composed citrus scent that feels put together rather than sporty or aggressively energetic.
In terms of gender, the formula sits comfortably in unisex territory, though it can lean slightly masculine in the way many neroli and bitter orange fragrances do. That said, the white floral core stops it from feeling rigid or barbershop-like. If your taste runs to Mediterranean citrus, neroli, orange blossom and clean skin musk, Giuseppe makes a coherent case for itself.
The main caution is originality. Even positive impressions note that this is not a radical reinvention of the genre. If you already own several neroli-centric warm-weather fragrances, Giuseppe may feel familiar. The appeal is in the blend and wearability rather than novelty. For the right wearer, that can be enough. It gives you a fresh citrus floral profile with a gentle musky dry-down and more staying power than its soft character first suggests.
FAQs
What does Giuseppe by Naso Di Raza smell like?+
It smells like a neroli-forward citrus aromatic with orange blossom, lemon, bergamot and bitter orange over musk and ambroxan. The overall effect is bright, floral-citrus, clean and lightly musky rather than sweet or heavy.
Is Giuseppe more masculine or unisex?+
It is marketed as unisex, and the note structure supports that. Community voting leans slightly more masculine, but the white florals and polished musk keep it comfortably wearable for anyone who enjoys citrus florals.
Is Giuseppe a summer fragrance?+
Yes. The strongest seasonal signal points to spring and especially summer, and the scent profile fits warm weather very well. It has the airy, citrus-led freshness many people want in heat.
Does Giuseppe work for daytime wear?+
Yes. Daytime wear is the clearest fit here. Its fresh citrus opening and moderate overall presence make it easy to wear for work, casual outings and warm-weather daytime use.
How long does Giuseppe last?+
Performance appears better than a classic light cologne. Longevity voting leans long lasting, though the scent may wear closer to the skin after the opening, so expect better staying power than the breezy profile first suggests.
How strong is the projection?+
Projection looks moderate to strong overall, but it does not read as a room-filling fragrance. Reviews suggest it opens clearly, then settles into a softer aura that stays fairly close after a while.
Is Giuseppe very floral?+
It has a strong white floral presence, mainly neroli, orange blossom and jasmine sambac, but it still reads primarily as a citrus aromatic. The florals add brightness and smoothness more than a dense bouquet effect.
Is Giuseppe sweet?+
Not especially. It comes across fresher and cleaner than sweet, with citrus, aromatic facets and musk doing most of the work. If you dislike sugary citrus scents, this may be easier to wear.
Does Giuseppe smell old school?+
It has some of the structure of a classic citrus cologne, especially in the neroli and bitter orange feel, but the musk and ambroxan give it a more modern finish. It usually reads as traditional freshness with a contemporary edge.

Dupes & Alternatives
COMMUNITY DUPESCOREThe closest comparisons point toward other polished neroli-citrus fragrances rather than true dupes. Reviewer comments mention Xerjoff Kobe, and the fragrance page places it near Mediterranean neroli territory. If you already own several scents in that family, compare before buying, because Giuseppe seems to win more on blend quality and wear than on doing something completely different.
