What does An Urban Original 2 for Him smell like?

The top notes are lemon, bergamot, violet, aniseed, melon and apple, so it starts fruity and fresh. Lavender, patchouli, jasmine and rose lead the heart, with grapefruit alongside. In the base, musk, sandalwood, amber and vanilla sweeten it into a powdery, gourmand warmth.

Voters rate its longevity as moderate and its sillage as weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. It is a men's fragrance from 2013 and has been discontinued. Rochas Rochas Man and Joop! Le Bain have a close profile.
