What does 9am Dive smell like?

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate to good. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily and leisure wear lead, with sport and business close behind. More voters read it as masculine, though it stays unisex. Armaf Tag-Him (Eau de Toilette) and La Rive Ironstone have a close profile.

Lemon, mint, blackcurrant and pink pepper come first, and the aquatic and citrus accords give a fresh, green impression. In the heart, apple adds fruity sweetness while cedar and frankincense bring a woody depth. Sandalwood, patchouli, ginger and jasmine form the base.
