SpicyWhat does Fierce (Cologne) smell like?
The top is orange, lemon, petitgrain, fir resin and cardamom, with the cardamom adding a light spice to the citrus. Lily of the valley, rose, rosemary and jasmine bring a soft, green floral heart. Vetiver, musk, Brazilian rosewood and oakmoss hold it on a woody base, and an aquatic, lightly sweet air runs through it.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and few choose winter. It leans towards daily and leisure wear, with business and sport also fitting. It reads masculine and modern.
