What does Born Original for Him smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, and voters lean towards leisure and sport, followed by daily wear and the office. Few pick it for evenings or nights out. It reads masculine.
It opens with lavender, rhubarb and violet leaf, light and slightly green. In the heart, orange, black pepper and sage add a fruity sweetness with a little spice. The base of cedarwood, sandalwood and cashmeran settles into a woody, powdery ground with a synthetic edge.
