What does Junzi smell like?

It opens with bergamot, cognac, lemon grass and black pepper, so citrus and spice arrive together. The heart of rose, lavender and clary sage adds a soft, lightly powdery floral note. Vetiver, cedarwood and moss build a woody, green base, while amber and musk take the edge off with a little sweetness.

Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear and business are the occasions voted most. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable up close without filling a room. It is made for men. Penhaligon's Lavandula and David Beckham Refined Woods have a close profile.
