What does Perceive for Men (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It wears at a moderate strength, with moderate longevity and sillage, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind and winter well back. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some room for the office.

The citrus and green notes give the opening a fresh, fruity feel. In the heart, orange blossom, lavender, sage and nutmeg add a spicy edge, while geranium and artemisia keep the green side going. The base of patchouli, amber, cedarwood and benzoin dries it down to a warm, woody finish.
