What does Gap Established 1969 for Men smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. The number of votes is small, so these impressions are tentative. It reads masculine and has been discontinued.

The fresh citrus side comes from Italian lemon, Tunisian neroli and orange leaf, while galbanum and Italian cypress add a green edge. Sandalwood forms a woody base and suede brings a leathery touch, with white thyme and French absinthe adding a spicy, slightly herbal note. Fruity and sweet accords soften the sharper edges.
