What does Man Rose smell like?

It opens with bergamot, cardamom, mandarin orange and black pepper, then brings elemi resin and patchouli alongside the two roses in the heart. In the base, frankincense, leather, vanilla and amber lead, while Cambodian oud and tropical woods give that resinous, smoky, leathery ground a woody frame.

Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good. Most pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen mainly for nights out and evenings. Though made as a men's fragrance, voters read it as feminine almost as often as masculine.
