CreamyWhat does By Man Re-Edition 1997 smell like?
Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it makes itself known without filling the room. It reads as masculine. Voters rate its staying power well, though the number of votes is small and the picture is not conclusive.
Black pepper and nutmeg open on a spicy note, then lavender and artemisia bring a green, aromatic heart. In the base, amber and gaiac wood settle it into a woody, slightly sweet finish. Citrus, powdery and creamy touches soften the fougère structure.
