What does Bucephalus No. XI smell like?

Blackcurrant, pineapple and bergamot keep the opening bright and fruity. Myrrh, jasmine and rose add a soft floral heart. Vanilla, musk, oakmoss and ambergris settle it into a sweet, creamy, woody base.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, though summer and winter draw votes too. It leans towards business and daily wear, and also suits evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as masculine. Creed Aventus and Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man have a close profile.
