What does Windsor (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it leaves a light rather than heavy trail. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards daily wear and the office. Voters mostly call its character masculine and classic.

The citrus notes bring freshness and a slightly fruity side, while black pepper adds a spicy edge. Cedarwood, vetiver and patchouli form the woody base, leather and amber give it a leathery warmth, and vanilla softens the dryness a little. Molton Brown Re-Charge Black Pepper and Davidoff Adventure have a close profile.
