What does Isle of Man smell like?

It wears with moderate longevity and weak sillage, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it suits daily wear, leisure and the office. It reads masculine.

It opens with grapefruit, clove, nutmeg and ginger alongside green leaves, a bright and slightly sharp start. Orange adds a fruity softness in the heart, while cardamom and red pepper keep the spice going. Cedar and gaiac wood settle underneath as a dry, woody base, with the citrus and green accords balancing the spice.
