What does Gin and Tonic Cologne smell like?

It opens with the coolness of grapefruit, lemon zest, juniper berry and cucumber peel, and the gin tonic heart keeps that light, green-tinged mood going. In the base, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood set the scent on a clean, woody footing, while cardamom adds a small touch of spice.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close without crowding the room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with leisure, business and daily wear leading the occasions. It reads somewhat more masculine, though a fair share of voters find it feminine. Paris - Édimbourg and Penhaligon's Juniper Sling have a close profile.
