What does Air smell like?

Mint, yuzu and grapefruit lead at the start, and the citrus and aquatic accords give it a cooling feel. In the heart, ginger, white pepper and cardamom add spice, while green and synthetic accords round out the freshness. The base of cedar, musk and sandalwood settles it onto a lightly woody ground.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, though few people have voted, so that reading is tentative. With its light, fresh build it suits warm weather and everyday wear, and it reads masculine. Hugo Boss Hugo XY (Eau de Toilette) and Givenchy Gentlemen Only Casual Chic have a close profile.
