What does L for Men smell like?

It opens with grapefruit, which brings a citrus freshness. In the heart, oud, rose and petitgrain set up a green, earthy and slightly smoky feel. The base of vetiver, musk, Atlas cedar and fir balsam leaves a resinous, woody footing.

Longevity is very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn, followed by winter and spring, and it leans towards evenings, nights out and leisure time. It reads masculine and classic. Etro Shaal Nur and M. Micallef Jewel for Him have a close profile.
