What does Herrera for Men (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and fall, and daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Over half of voters call it masculine, and many also read it as classic.
The top notes of rosemary, lavender, citrus leaf and neroli give a fresh, green start. In the heart, pepper leaf, clove and geranium add a spicy, slightly floral turn. As it dries, tobacco, sandalwood and amber leave a warm, woody base. Chanel Platinum Égoïste and Davidoff Cool Water have a close profile.
