What does Armour smell like?

It opens bright, with lemon zest and bergamot, and aromatic notes add a slightly green edge. In the heart, lavender and geranium lead while rose stays in the background and softens the sharpness. Patchouli, oakmoss and musk give the base a woody, earthy footing.

Longevity is rated weak and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so take this loosely. The fresh citrus character suits daytime wear and warmer weather, and it reads clearly masculine. Moudon Temptation and Anfar London Intense Sport have a close profile.
