WoodyWhat does Villain for Men smell like?
A citrusy, fruity freshness runs alongside the spicy warmth of cardamom, nutmeg and black pepper. Lavender, basil and sage add a green edge, while cedar, sandalwood, amber and musk give it a woody, lightly sweet base. The overall feel leans synthetic.
It is marketed as a men's fragrance. Longevity and sillage are both rated weak, though few people have voted, so that is a rough impression. Hugo Boss Boss in Motion and Lacoste Pour Homme have a close profile.
