What does The Original / Eight & Bob smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, with winter chosen less often. It leans towards leisure, business and daily wear. Most voters read it as masculine, though many also call it classic or modern.

The opening pairs lemon, cardamom and pink pepper for a citrus-spice start. In the heart, violet leaf adds a green, floral touch, while labdanum and dry woods warm the body. The base of vetiver, sandalwood and amber turns woody, powdery and creamy with a gentle sweetness. Dior Escale à Pondichéry and Parfums de Marly Darley have a close profile.
