What does Classic (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it fits those who don't need a scent that lingers all day. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen occasions. It mostly reads as masculine and modern.

It opens with a cool burst of lime, gin tonic and galbanum. The heart adds nutmeg, mint and cypress, bringing a spicy, lightly woody tone. Vetiver, cedar and amber in the base settle it into a woody, slightly sweet softness. Jaguar Classic Black and Armaf Tag-Him have a close profile.
