What does Heat smell like?

Red chili, lemon and coriander seed lead the opening: the lemon keeps it bright while the chili adds a sharp heat. Ginger, juniper and cardamom carry the spicy side through the heart, and cedarwood, musk and ambrox settle into a clean, woody base.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, so it makes itself known without filling the room. Its fresh, spicy build suits everyday wear, and it leans neither masculine nor feminine. Le Labo Citron 28 and Oriflame Nordic Waters for Him have a close profile.
