What does Authentic Self Man smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear and leisure are the occasions named most often. It reads masculine and modern.

It opens with cypress, Chinese ginger and Guatemala cardamom, cool and lightly spiced. In the heart, freesia, Egyptian geranium and violet leaf add a soft green tone. Bourbon vanilla and Brazilian tonka bean leave a creamy sweetness in the base, over a woody footing of Virginia cedar. Lanvin Éclat d'Arpège pour Homme and Mistral Male (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
