What does The One for Men (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Most voters pick autumn, followed by winter and spring; it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also turns up at work and in daily wear. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, and most voters read it as masculine.

It opens with bergamot, Tarocco orange and basil, giving it a fresh, fruity lift. In the heart, French clary sage, orange blossom and French lavender bring out the spicy side. The base of Australian sandalwood, amber and cedarwood settles into a woody, oriental warmth.
