What does Happy for Men (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are moderate: it neither dominates nor fades quickly. Most voters pick summer and spring, with daily and leisure wear leading and sport and business also common. It is sold as a men's scent, and most voters read it as masculine and modern.

It opens with mandarin orange, green lemon, green notes and marine notes for a bright start. In the heart, lily of the valley, freesia, rose and jasmine soften it. The base of cypress, cedarwood, gaiac wood and musk leaves a slightly sweet, woody finish.
