What does Pleasures for Men (Cologne) smell like?

It opens with a sky air accord, citrus notes, nectarine and green leaves, giving a clean, lightly fruity freshness. In the heart, pimento, red ginger and coriander seed add a spicy warmth. Ebony, oakmoss and sandalwood in the base settle it onto a woody, fougère footing, with the aquatic and floral sides staying in the background.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily and business wear lead the occasions. Most voters read it as masculine, with modern in second place. Dua Brand Joyous for Him and Lattafa Raghba for Man have a close profile.
