What does Mambo for Men (Cologne) smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, though the ratings rest on few votes and should be taken loosely. It reads masculine and has been discontinued.

Citrus and lavender lead, giving a fresh fougère feel. In the heart, geranium, rose, orange blossom and cinnamon add a floral, spicy sweetness. The base of patchouli, fir balsam, sandalwood and musk grounds it in soft wood. Amouage Ciel Man and Rasasi Hatem have a close profile.
