What does Spirit for Men (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Bergamot, citrus fruits and neroli give it a bright, fresh feel. Cinnamon and amber sweeten it, while patchouli, frankincense and musk add a woody, slightly smoky base. Gourmand and oriental tones also come through in the accords.
Its longevity is rated moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Voters spread it fairly evenly across business, evening, daily wear, leisure and nights out.
