What does Masculin 2 (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Bergamot, grapefruit and orange give it a bright, fruity start. Cardamom and nutmeg add a spicy warmth, while geranium and Tuscany basil bring a floral, green touch. Vetiver and Virginia cedar set a woody base underneath.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, with winter trailing behind. Daily wear, leisure and business are favoured about equally. It reads as a clean, restrained take on the classic masculine style. Grossmith Golden Chypre and Penhaligon's Zizonia have a close profile.
