What does Thunder smell like?

It opens with pink pepper, elemi resin, lavender and bergamot, which together give a spicy, fresh start. In the heart, vanilla milk, iris and geranium soften the scent and move it toward a creamy, powdery tone. Vetiver, tonka bean and cedarwood leave a sweet woodiness underneath.

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, then spring, while summer gets very few votes. It suits daily wear as well as nights out and evenings. It reads mostly masculine, with a modern side too. Its profile is close to MCM Charming Pup and Lattafa His Confession.
