What does Apparition Homme (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange, aniseed and rhubarb, giving a fruity, citrus-led freshness. In the heart, black pepper and green tea pull that freshness towards a spicy, green tone, with an aquatic feel never far behind. The base of vetiver and Glycyrrhiza glabra gathers everything on a woody footing.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the small number of votes makes these figures tentative. It reads clearly masculine. Acqua di Parma Bergamotto di Calabria and Davidoff Adventure have a close profile.
