What does Carrera (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The top is lavender, rosemary, coriander and bergamot, so it starts crisp and aromatic. The heart of aniseed, geranium, jasmine and carnation adds a floral, spicy turn. The base of sandalwood, leather, cedar, moss, tonka bean and musk dominates in the end, leaving a smoky, oriental warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the vote count is small, so these ratings are tentative. Dunhill Dunhill and Dior Fahrenheit have a close profile.
