What does CH Men Africa smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange zest, blue sage, pink pepper and green bell pepper, a fresh start with a slight bite. In the heart, linen, violet leaf and coffee come forward, with floral and gourmand touches blending into the sweetness. The base of Atlas cedar, cinnamon wood and cashmere wood gives it a woody, earthy footing.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. It is aimed at men. Released in 2015, it has been discontinued. Dolce & Gabbana Devotion pour Homme (Eau de Parfum) and LR Guido Maria Kretschmer for Men have a close profile.
