What does Masculin 2 Black Instant smell like?

Bergamot's fresh citrus meets the green notes, while vetiver and woody notes settle it onto a dry base. Chypre and fougère accords give it a classic frame; floral and spicy touches stay in the background and a light smokiness firms up the wood.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it suits leisure, daily wear and the office. Most see it as masculine and classic. Rituals No. 17 Vetiver & Bergamot and Rituals No. 06 Green Vetiver & Bergamot have a close profile.
