What does Classic smell like?

The scent reads as a single whole: orange brings a fresh, green and fruity brightness over the earthy, woody ground of oakmoss and patchouli. Leather adds a spicy, leathery shade, while rosewood lends a dry woodiness.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, with winter chosen less often. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the most common settings. More voters find it masculine or modern, though many call it classic. La Rive The Hero and Woods of Windsor For Men / For Gentlemen have a close profile.
