What does Century Blue smell like?

It opens with Italian bergamot, mandarin orange and black pepper, a bright, lightly spicy start. Orris butter, neroli and ginger soften it in the heart, and sea salt, oakmoss and patchouli give the base a woody, salty footing. The overall impression is clean, green and slightly synthetic.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable close to the wearer without filling a room. Voters pick it most for leisure, business and daily wear. Mercedes-Benz Sport and Davidoff Cool Water have a close profile.
