What does Lauder for Men (Cologne) smell like?

Lauder for Men reads as masculine and classic. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter and summer further behind. It leans towards daytime, business and leisure wear. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good.

It opens with citrusy mandarin orange and lemon, while sage, cardamom and coriander add a green, spicy edge. Towards the heart, vetiver, sandalwood and patchouli build a woody, earthy body. Amber and oakmoss settle underneath, and the chypre and fougère structure stays clear. Ungaro pour L'Homme III and Loewe pour Homme have a close profile.
