What does Brit Summer Edition for Men smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange and lime, while cardamom and ginger add a light touch of spice. In the heart, cedar, patchouli and Brazilian rosewood pull it in a green, woody direction. Vetiver, tonka bean and musk soften the base and give it a gentle sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and it is picked mainly for daytime, leisure and the office. It is positioned as a men's fragrance. Sospiro Vibrato and Giorgio Armani Eau d'Arômes have a close profile.
