What does C for Men smell like?
Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night-out wear leading the occasions. It reads masculine and classic to most.
The top opens with mandarin orange, lemon and tea for a light fruity brightness. Clove, cardamom, saffron and cinnamon bring the spice in the heart. The base is dominated by tobacco, leather, oud and amber, while cedar and vanilla soften the smoky, earthy structure. Nabeel Desert Oud and Amouage Memoir Man have a close profile.
