What does Point Dume for Men smell like?

The opening is led by citrus and the green coolness of violet leaf. In the heart, leather, nutmeg and clove add a spicy edge. In the base, vanilla, patchouli and sandalwood soften it, and the accords also carry aquatic and floral sides.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as strong, though the number of votes is small. It is positioned as a men's scent. Jil Sander Simply (Eau de Parfum) and Zara Place Dauphine have a close profile.
