What does Zeus / Daddy smell like?

Bergamot and apple open with a fresh, slightly tart fruitiness. Toward the heart, tonka bean and nutmeg come forward and the scent softens into a creamy, spiced sweetness. In the base, vanilla, sandalwood, oud and benzoin carry the weight, while ambergris and patchouli keep this oriental body warm.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it sits most comfortably on nights out and evenings; summer is the weakest fit. Most voters read it as masculine and modern. Aaron Terence Hughes Forbidden and Givenchy Gentlemen Only Absolute have a close profile.
