What does X-Bolt smell like?

Tarragon, lemon and lime open sharp and bright, then lavender, apple, musk and pepper take over and push the scent in a fruity, lightly spicy direction. In the base, woods, cardamom and vanilla soften the sweetness and leave a synthetic, woody dry-down.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Most see it as masculine and modern. Rabanne Phantom Intense and Paris Bleu Space Time have a close profile.
