What does Inspired by Respect (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The top notes of lavender, grapefruit and bergamot give a citrusy, fresh start. In the heart, cardamom and clove leaf bring spice while pineapple adds a fruity sweetness. The base rests on cedarwood, softened by amber and orris root.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, though the number of votes is small, so that verdict is tentative. The light, fresh build suits everyday wear better than heavy occasions. Dunhill Icon Racing and Nishane Hacivat have a close profile.
