What does Route 66 (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The top notes of pineapple, bergamot and lemon give a bright, fruity start. In the heart, tarragon, lavender and oakmoss add a green, chypre-like edge. The base of labdanum, sandalwood and patchouli grounds it in a woody, resinous warmth.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring and summer get a fair share too. It leans towards daily and leisure wear and also works in the office. The character is clearly masculine. Roja Parfums Apex and Grès Cabaret Homme have a close profile.
