What does Authentic Man smell like?

It opens with bergamot, grapefruit and black pepper, then moves into a heart of lavender, clary sage and ginger. White musk, suede and Clearwood™ give the base a woody, slightly leathery footing. The overall feel is fresh and lightly sweet, with floral and fruity touches in the background.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and the office lead the occasions. Most also read it as masculine. Memo Paris French Leather and Lattafa Dynasty have a close profile.
