What does The One Grey smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it neither dominates a room nor fades quickly. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards office and daytime wear. It mostly reads as masculine.

It starts fresh, citrusy and green, with grapefruit softened and spiced by cardamom. Provençal lavender and vetiver come forward next, and the base of grey woods, tobacco and ambergris adds a sweet, woody warmth. Bvlgari Le Gemme Tygar and David Beckham Respect have a close profile.
