What does Shine for Him smell like?

Voters find both longevity and sillage weak, though the sample is small; the scent stays close to the skin and may need refreshing through the day. With no season or occasion votes, all that can be said is that it is made for men.

The opening pairs cinnamon and cardamom with a softening rose. The heart of jasmine, aniseed and lavender is floral and aromatic. The base rests on vetiver, sandalwood and patchouli, with musk, vanilla and amber rounding it into something sweeter. The overall feel is fresh, citrusy and lightly aquatic. Versace Blue Jeans and Amouage Ciel Man have a close profile.
