What does Going Bang smell like?

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall not far behind. It leans towards leisure, business and daily wear, and most voters read it as masculine, though some call it feminine or modern. Al Haramain Haramain Amber Oud Bleu Edition and Sober Panama have a close profile.

It starts fresh and aquatic: the sharpness of pink pepper opens up with grapefruit, while frankincense stays in the background. In the heart, jasmine, cardamom, geranium and nutmeg add a floral, spicy turn. It dries down to leather, vetiver, cedarwood and patchouli, with a synthetic sheen running throughout.
