What does Harmattan smell like?
Bergamot, lavender and cedar leaf give the top a crisp, green start. In the heart, geranium, pink pepper and ambroxan add a spicy, slightly synthetic edge. Vetiver, patchouli and leather settle into a woody, leathery base, with a sweet accord softening it.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most pick fall and spring, and it is worn for leisure, night outs and evenings. Most voters read it as masculine, though it works as a unisex scent. Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original Craftsman and Fragonard L'Aventurier have a close profile.
