What does FM 459 smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. It is made for men, and its warm, spicy character suits cooler weather best. Spicebomb and Reyane Tradition Insurrection II Dark have a close profile.

The top of bergamot, grapefruit and elemi resin gives a fresh, fruity start. In the heart, cinnamon, saffron and pepper add a spicy warmth. Vetiver, leather and tobacco then settle into an earthy, smoky, slightly sweet base.
