What does Brit for Men (After Shave) smell like?

The top is cardamom, green mandarin orange, ginger and bergamot, a bright, sharp spice. At the heart, nutmeg, cedarwood and wild rose take over and the spice turns woody. The base of musk, oriental woods and tonka bean softens it, while the synthetic accord stays in the background.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few votes back this up, so treat it as a rough guide. It is classed as a men's fragrance. Burberry Brit for Him (Eau de Toilette) and Avon 015 Attract have a close profile.
