What does Driven (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The opening leads with plum, lime, bergamot and red apple, where citrus freshness is softened by fruit sweetness. In the heart, jasmine and rose add a floral layer while cinnamon and cardamom bring a spicy warmth. The base turns sweeter with amber, vanilla and musk, over a woody floor of cedarwood and amyris.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, though the number of ratings is small, so these should be taken loosely. Its fresh, sweet build suits everyday wear, and it is positioned as a masculine scent. Ferrari Scuderia Ferrari - Black (Eau de Toilette) and La Rive Black Fury have a close profile.
