What does 9mm smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though few votes back this up, so treat it as a rough guide. There are no season or occasion votes to draw on. It is unisex and doesn't lean toward either gender.

The scent opens fresh, green and spicy, with cardamom, nutmeg, gun powder and bergamot up front. In the heart, red pepper, black orchid and jasmine add a floral softness. The base of vetiver, leather, musk, moss and gaiac wood settles into a woody, leathery, smoky and distinctly synthetic finish.
