What does Arabico smell like?

Most voters pick spring and autumn, while summer and winter trail behind. Business, daily and leisure wear score close to each other. Longevity is rated moderate and sillage weak, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most votes call it masculine, with a share also calling it classic.

It opens with Egyptian geranium and bergamot, a fresh, citrusy start. The heart holds true lavender, cedar and frankincense, adding a green, powdery and lightly smoky feel. Vetiver and lavender sit in the base, and the scent settles into a plain, woody, resinous dry-down.
