What does Dapper 1959 (Parfum Extract) smell like?

Sicilian citrus fruits and lemon vervain give it a bright base, while lavender and star anise pull it toward a spicy, green side. Black leather, patchouli and vetiver add an earthy weight, and talcum and musk soften everything into something powdery and creamy.

Its longevity is rated strong, and most voters say it lasts a long time, though the number of votes is small. It reads masculine and suits anyone after a clean, classic style. Zara Extreme 9.0 and Rania J. Lavande 44 have a close profile.
