What does Maverick (2024) smell like?

The three citrus notes lead at the start. Apple and plum then add a soft fruitiness in the heart, while tonka bean and vanilla pull the scent towards a creamy, gourmand side. The base of nutmeg, cedarwood, patchouli and white musk settles into a spicy, woody and powdery foundation.

Voters find both its longevity and its sillage strong, so it lasts well and carries around the wearer. Its balance between fresh and sweet suits men and women alike. Close in profile are Aaron Terence Hughes Maverick (2023) and Maverick (2021).
