WoodyWhat does Truth Men (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens with pepper. The heart holds sandalwood, cardamom and basil, the basil adding a green edge and the cardamom a spicy one. Cedar and patchouli in the base settle it onto a woody footing, while fruity and synthetic accords add a light sheen.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is worn for leisure, daily use and the office. Half of voters read it as masculine, and many also call it modern. Police To Be and La Rive Evolution have a close profile.
