What does Spectrum smell like?

The citrus of orange and bergamot is softened by apple blossom at the start. In the heart, juniper berry, pepper and rosemary bring a spicy, slightly green edge. The base of musk, oakmoss and patchouli leaves a woody, smoky and faintly leathery ground.

Voters find both longevity and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Its fresh, citrusy build suits men who want something light for the day. Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) and Tonino Lamborghini Invincibile have a close profile.
