What does Mister Marvelous (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens citrusy and green: mandarin orange leaf and bitter orange blossom give an airy first impression. In the heart, bamboo and green lavender keep that greenness going, and the base of black amber and white cedarwood settles it onto a woody, lightly spicy footing. The overall feel is clean, fresh and a little synthetic.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office lead the occasions. Most read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine.
