What does Gentleman L smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, spring comes a fairly close third, and summer is much less favoured. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and also works for leisure and business wear. It is sold as a men's scent, though a good share of voters find it feminine, and some call it classic.

Saffron, neroli and mandarin orange give a bright, spicy start. In the heart, Turkish rose, jasmine and mastic build a floral, resinous body. Vanilla sweetens the base, while gaiac wood and sandalwood add a woody, earthy, leathery floor, and ambergris softens the warmth.
