What does Maverick (2022) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, and most voters score them high, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a first impression. It reads as unisex and suits men and women alike.

It opens with citrus: bergamot, mandarin orange and lemon give it a fresh, fruity lift. Towards the heart, tonka bean, plum and vanilla add a sweet, creamy softness. Nutmeg, patchouli and cedarwood then settle into a spicy, woody, earthy base. Aaron Terence Hughes Maverick (2021) and Maverick (2023) have a close profile.
