What does W smell like?

It opens with the warm, spicy edge of nutmeg. In the heart, cashmeran and lavender soften the scent and set it on a woody base. The dry-down brings oakmoss and tonka bean: the dry, smoky moss sits alongside the sweetness of the tonka. The fresh accord keeps it from feeling heavy.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small. Classed as a men's fragrance, W has a spicy, woody character that suits cooler weather. Jil Sander Strictly Night and Aramis Tobacco Reserve have a close profile.
