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

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and fall, and daily wear, leisure and office use lead. It reads masculine and modern.

The top adds citrus and aniseed, with cedar, cyclamen and jasmine in the heart. Musk, benzoin and amber sweeten the base slightly. Overall it feels fresh, citrusy and woody, with a mild spicy edge.
