What does Run Wild smell like?

American lavender leads the opening, Madagascan cinnamon adds a light spiciness and sweetness in the heart, and fir balsam leaves a green, woody base. The overall feel is fresh, aquatic and green, with floral and fruity touches softening it.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it stays fairly close through the day. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is worn mostly for leisure and daily use, with business a close second. It reads masculine and modern. Mercedes-Benz The Move and Hugo Boss Hugo (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
