What does DGAF smell like?

The top is violet, sage, Calabrian bergamot and citrus notes, giving an aquatic, green freshness at the start. In the heart, pepper, sandalwood, Bulgarian rose and frankincense move it toward a spicy, woody tone. The base of musk, tonka bean, amber, balsam and cashmeran sweetens and softens it.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, and leisure, daily wear and business are the occasions named most. Voters read it as masculine more than anything else, followed by modern. Parfums de Marly Percival and Tom Tailor By the Sea Man have a close profile.
