FougèreWhat does M (2013) smell like?
The top notes of green leaves, bergamot and lime give a fresh, citrusy start. In the heart, lavender, sage and violet leaf set the fougère character. In the base, white musk, tonka bean and sandalwood sweeten it slightly and soften it onto a woody footing. The overall feel is fresh and green, with a noticeable synthetic edge.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so that picture is tentative. It reads masculine. Lattafa Raghba for Man and Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle Aviator have a close profile.
