What does Simply You for Him smell like?

The top is bright citrus, with bergamot and Italian lemon sharpened slightly by black pepper. The heart brings African geranium, clary sage and nutmeg, a spicy, green-leaning middle. In the base, cedarwood, benzoin and patchouli settle it onto a woody, resinous and sweet footing, with powdery and earthy touches in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself known without filling a room. Its fresh citrus build keeps it close to an easy everyday wear, and it reads clearly masculine.
