What does Maverick (2021) smell like?

It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange and lemon, which give it a bright, fruity lift. In the heart, tonka bean, plum and vanilla turn it creamy and sweet. Nutmeg, patchouli and cedarwood set a woody, spicy base underneath.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring, fall and winter, and it leans towards leisure and nights out. Half of voters call it masculine, yet it reads as unisex. Aaron Terence Hughes Maverick (2023) and Maverick (2022) have a close profile.
