004 Gin Mandarine Musc

It opens bright with bergamot, lemon and mandarin orange. In the heart, nutmeg, ginger and juniper berry add a spicy, slightly green tone. As it dries, tobacco and patchouli stay in the background while tonka bean and white musk sweeten and soften the scent.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it is used for leisure, daily wear and the office. It leans masculine, though a good share of voters find it feminine, so it sits comfortably on either. Carthusia Mediterraneo and Creed Aventus Cologne have a close profile.
