What does The Beat for Men (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays comfortable at a desk, at work and through everyday routines without crowding the people around you. Most voters pick spring and autumn, summer follows, and few choose winter. It reads masculine and modern.

The opening pairs black pepper with citron and violet leaf, so citrus freshness meets a green, leafy edge and a spicy bite. White thyme and geranium carry the green through the heart, and vetiver with woody notes settles into a dry, clean base. Byredo Open Sky and Harry Lehmann Key West have a close profile.
