What does Life by Esprit for Men (2003) smell like?

It opens with green apple, red grapefruit and caipirinha, giving a fresh, citrusy, aquatic character. Lavender, rosemary, aniseed and nutmeg come forward in the heart, while patchouli, teakwood and white amber lay a woody base. The fruity, sweet side is balanced by green tones.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin as a light scent. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and business are the most named occasions. It reads masculine and modern. Its profile is close to Jesus del Pozo Quasar and Moschino Forever Sailing.
