What does X for Men smell like?

Green cardamom, bergamot, pink pepper and ginger make the top fresh and spicy. In the heart, cinnamon, violet, orris root and Egyptian jasmine add a floral softness. The base of vetiver, cedarwood, oakmoss and vanilla leaves a green, earthy, slightly resinous trail.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night-out wear lead. Voters call it masculine and classic.
