What does Authentic Spirit Man smell like?

The top is led by rosemary, apple, lemon and cardamom, with elemi resin adding a light resinous edge. In the heart, lavender, juniper, sage and cinnamon sit alongside orange blossom and geranium, which soften the green and spicy side. The base of leather, amber, musk and vanilla sweetens the scent and leaves it creamy with a hint of smoke.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the small number of votes means this is only a rough guide. The fresh, spicy profile leans towards everyday wear and reads clearly masculine. Roja Parfums A Midsummer Dream and Zara Heritage Selection - Deep Fougère have a close profile.
