What does Hokou for Him / ほこう smell like?

The notes aren't split into top, heart and base, so it reads as one whole from start to finish. Yuzu brings a bright, slightly sharp citrus edge, lavender adds a clean, aromatic depth, and woods keep everything dry and woody.

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so that is only a rough guide. It is made for men and suits anyone wanting a light, fresh scent. Azzaro Azzaro pour Homme Freelight Edition and Cartier Eau de Cartier Concentrée have a close profile.
