What does Passion for Men (Cologne) smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. Evening and night-out wear lead, with business and daily use also named. Most voters call it masculine and classic.

The top of bergamot, lavender and neroli is fresh, while nutmeg and jasmine in the heart set spice against a soft floral note. The base of vetiver, patchouli, musk and vanilla leaves it sweet, powdery, woody and faintly earthy.
