What does Part Time Hero smell like?

The citrus keeps the opening bright. The heart brings plants, rose, lavender and juniper, and the scent turns aquatic and floral-green. Gaiac wood, musk and moss form a woody, lightly creamy base, with a faint fruity touch softening the edges.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, though only a few ratings back this up. It suits men who want something light, clean and easy for daily wear. Truefitt & Hill 1805 (Cologne) and Hermès Un Jardin en Méditerranée have a close profile.
