What does Blue After Shave smell like?

It opens with lemon, bergamot, bitter orange, menthol and lavender, a cool, bright start. In the heart, jasmine, vetiver and cedarwood carry the floral-green texture towards a woody line. Musk, amber and leather in the base soften it and close with a faintly resinous, leathery warmth.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays present without being heavy. Most voters pair it with daily wear, leisure and the office, and some choose it for sport. It reads masculine. Maxim's pour Homme and Borsalino have a close profile.
