What does New West for Him (Skinscent) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind. It leans towards leisure, daytime and office wear, and nearly half of voters read it as masculine.

It opens with bergamot, mint, lavender and marine notes for a bright start. In the heart, watermelon sits alongside pine and juniper berry, adding a green, lightly fruity touch. The base settles on cedar, patchouli, leather and oakmoss, giving a woody, leathery footing. Davidoff Cool Water (Eau de Toilette) and Yves Saint Laurent Jazz Prestige have a close profile.
