EarthyWhat does Ho Hang (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
The opening is a citrus brightness of orange, lemon and bergamot, cooled by mint. In the heart, patchouli and cedar lead, while pelargonium and rosewood add a floral, green touch. The base of vanilla, tonka bean, benzoin and labdanum sweetens the scent and settles it into a resinous warmth.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick it for spring and fall, and for leisure, business and evening wear. Most see it as masculine and classic. Hermès Rocabar and Gucci pour Homme share a close profile.
