What does Series 4: Cologne - Anbar smell like?

Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. More voters call it masculine, though a good share see it as feminine.

Citrus runs through the whole scent: lemon and bergamot are bright, orange a little rounder. Clove adds a spicy warmth, while musk keeps everything clean and smooth. The fresh, green and floral accords lead, with a woody base sitting quietly behind. Jardin de France Eau de Cologne 1920: Secret Hespéridé and Lorenzo Villoresi Acqua di Colonia have a close profile.
