What does Magic Man (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with cardamom, black pepper, nutmeg and frankincense for a spicy start. In the heart, pecan, cocoa wood and pimento come forward, with cyclamen and tagetes alongside. The base of amber, patchouli and woody notes rounds it off and softens it. A synthetic edge runs through the accords.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so the scent stays close to the skin. Most voters pick fall and spring, and daily wear, leisure and business are the most named occasions. More than half of voters read it as masculine.
