What does Un Homme (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with lavender, tarragon, bergamot and lemon, a fresh and herbal start. In the heart, jasmine, cedar and patchouli carry the floral side onto a woody, earthy footing. The base dries down with leather, oakmoss, amber and musk, growing warmer and more resinous.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is worn most often for evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as masculine and classic. Its profile is close to Francesco Smalto Francesco Smalto and Dior Jules.
