What does It's All About Freedom Man smell like?

It opens with basil, black pepper and cardamom, which give a spicy lift. In the heart, marine notes, geranium, grapefruit and melon bring an aquatic, floral and fruity freshness. The base of sandalwood, patchouli, amber and musk sets it on a sweet, woody footing, with citrus and synthetic tones also among its accords.

Voters place it mostly in leisure and business wear, with daily use close behind, and it also draws votes for nights out and evenings. It reads as a men's fragrance with an easy, lightly sporty daytime character. Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Cologne Bleue and Versace Blue Jeans have a close profile.
