FougèreWhat does Saks Fifth Avenue for Him smell like?
Bergamot brings the citrus brightness up top, while black pepper, cardamom and chili add a spicy edge. Frankincense sits in the heart, and gaiac wood and amber build a warm, woody foundation underneath. The scent keeps the clean feel of a fougère, with a slightly synthetic touch in its accords. Byredo Sunday Cologne and Dunhill Icon Racing have a close note and accord profile.
