What does Homme Parfum smell like?

Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as strong. Most pick fall and winter, with spring well behind and summer rarely chosen. It leans towards evenings and nights out, yet it also works for leisure and the office. Most voters read it as masculine and classic.

It opens fresh and spicy, with grapefruit and bergamot alongside cardamom. In the heart, vetiver and patchouli lay a green, earthy base while cinnamon adds warm sweetness. The base of labdanum, sandalwood and musk dries down resinous, woody and soft. Thameen Carved Oud and Costume National Homme have a close profile.
