What does L'Eau pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Most voters wear it in the warm months and by day; leisure, daily wear and the office are the most common settings. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays close without crowding the room. It reads as a masculine scent.

It opens with bergamot, sea breeze and lavender for a bright start. In the heart, cardamom, nutmeg and bamboo leaf add a green, lightly spicy feel. Patchouli, moss and blue cypress settle into a woody, earthy base. Aquatic and floral touches run through the accords; Fragonard Valentin and Zara Classic 12.0 have a close profile.
