What does Sandalwood Cologne smell like?

It opens with bergamot, lemon and lavender, with clary sage adding a light herbal edge. In the heart, geranium, jasmine and rose bring a soft floral touch while tonka bean sweetens things. It dries down into sandalwood, vanilla and amber, with patchouli adding a woody, slightly resinous depth.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. It leans towards leisure, evening and daily wear, and also suits the office. Most see it as masculine and classic. Davidoff Zino and Pierre Cardin Pour Monsieur have a close profile.
