What does Fossil 1954 for Men smell like?

The top is Italian bergamot, lemon, Guatemala cardamom and black pepper, so citrus and spice make a bright start. The heart brings spike lavender, ginger and juniper, with aquatic and earthy tones among the accords. The base of vanilla, sandalwood and tonka bean sweetens and softens the whole.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Voters pick it most for daily wear, with leisure, business and night out following. It reads as a relaxed, masculine daytime scent. Sapil Intense for Men and Fragonard Valentin have a close profile.
