What does Friction Him smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it stays close without overpowering. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office.

Mandarin orange, lavender and marine notes give it an aquatic, green freshness, softened a little by green fruits and coconut. Cardamom and geranium add a spicy edge, while patchouli, amber, leather and musk build a woody, leathery base. Rum adds some warmth underneath.
