What does Gentleman V smell like?

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though few people have voted on them. Voters split almost evenly across the four seasons, with fall slightly ahead. Leisure, evening, night out and business all get votes. Most voters read it as masculine and classic.

The top pairs citrus notes with elemi resin. The heart is spicy with nutmeg, white pepper, black pepper and pink pepper, softened by iris. The base of vetiver, frankincense, walnut wood and oud turns woody, resinous and smoky, with vanilla and ambergris adding a little sweetness.
