What does Fake (2023) / Urban Fake (2023) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good, though few people have voted. It reads as easy to wear on anyone and suits an ordinary day. In the top, lemon, mint and bergamot give a bright freshness; in the heart, jasmine, white blossoms and lavender soften it while marine notes add a watery edge. The base of nutmeg, cedarwood, patchouli and oud sets a dry, earthy ground. Fragrance Du Bois London Oud and Fragrance Du Bois London Spice have a close profile.
