What does The One for Men (Parfum) smell like?

It opens with Tarocco orange and black pepper, the orange's freshness checked by the pepper's bite. In the heart, labdanum adds a resinous warmth, and tobacco comes forward in the base. The overall impression is sweet and creamy, with an oriental warmth underneath.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it is most often chosen for evenings and nights out. Its character reads mostly masculine and modern.
