What does I Love New York for Him smell like?

It opens with juniper berry, ginger and grapefruit zest, giving a cool, sharp citrus lift. In the heart, geranium, lavender, patchouli and leather bring out the floral and woody side. The base of labdanum, sandalwood, amber and musk softens it and adds warmth.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though those scores rest on few votes. Voters pick it most for leisure, business and daily wear, with sport and evening further behind. Ralph Lauren Polo Sport (Eau de Toilette) and Bond No. 9 Shelter Island have a close profile.
