EarthyWhat does Executive (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It starts with basil, bergamot and lemon for a bright feel, lightly spiced by pimento and clary sage. In the heart, geranium, rose, cinnamon and sandalwood bring a floral and spicy side together. The base sweetens with vanilla, amber, moss and musk, resting on an earthy, resinous ground.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters spread it fairly evenly across the four seasons, with fall and spring slightly ahead. Leisure, daily wear and business are the most chosen settings, evening and night out less so. It is classed as a masculine scent. Atkinsons Rockford and Versace L'Homme share a close profile.
