What does Defender smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring a distant third. Night out and evening wear lead the occasion votes, while leisure and business also get some. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, so it stays noticeable around you. It is worn as a unisex fragrance.

The top carries grapefruit, ginger, honey and cognac, with liquorice and red fruits giving the first sweetness. Toward the heart, myrrh, night-blooming jasmine and orange blossom add a soft floral layer. At the base, red amber, tonka bean, benzoin and leather settle in, and the scent closes warm, creamy and resinous.
