What does Maverick (2023) smell like?
Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters suggest night outs and evenings; winter, fall and spring are chosen equally, with summer trailing behind. Though it is unisex, most voters read it as masculine.
The citrus opens fresh, then vanilla, tonka bean and plum pull the scent towards a sweet, fruity, creamy side. In the base, nutmeg, cedarwood, white musk and patchouli leave a spicy, woody, powdery trail. Maverick (2024) and Maverick (2021) have a close profile.
