What does Dark Fresh smell like?

The top is grapefruit, neroli, mandarin orange, mint and bergamot. In the heart, marine and aquatic notes, sage and coriander keep it cool, while tuberose and fruity notes soften it. The base of musk, tonka bean, cedar and amber sweetens it slightly and settles it on a woody footing.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some votes for office and sport. It reads masculine and modern. Mäurer & Wirtz Culture by Tabac: Blue and Dunhill Desire Blue have a close profile.
