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

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, with winter far behind. It is chosen mostly for daily wear and leisure, and it also finds a place at the office. Most find it masculine, though many also call it modern.

Melon and mango soften the citrus opening in a fruity, sweet direction. In the heart, fir, sage and marine notes add a green, aquatic freshness. Vetiver, amber and sandalwood settle into a woody base. Aaron Terence Hughes Blue Fever and Zara Navy Black have a close profile.
