What does Noble Man smell like?

Noble Man is rated as strong in longevity and good in sillage. Most voters pick it for fall and winter, then spring, and it suits leisure time, evenings and nights out. Summer is the least favoured season.

It opens with citrus and spice: bergamot, neroli, cardamom and ginger give it a fresh start. In the heart, May rose and jasmine add a soft floral, slightly green touch. It dries down to a sweet, woody base built on tobacco absolute, benzoin, vanilla, amber and sandalwood. Xerjoff Kobe and Thameen Patiala have a close profile.
