What does Cuir Caraïbes smell like?

Bergamot and citrus fruits give it a crisp footing, while ginger and Jamaican pepper add spice. Green mango and white blossoms sweeten and soften the mix. Leather, patchouli, vetiver and gaiac wood supply the woody, leathery depth, with amber rounding off the warmth.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine. Dior Homme Cologne and Montblanc Explorer Extreme share a close profile.
