What does Emporio Armani City Glam for Him smell like?

Brazilian peppermint and bitter orange give the opening its freshness. In the heart, grass, Thai and Chinese ginger and herbaceous notes build a green, lightly spicy feel. White musk and La Réunion vetiver soften the base into something woody and earthy, with a fruity, slightly sweet and somewhat synthetic impression overall.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by autumn, and it leans towards business and daily wear. Voters mostly call it masculine and modern, so it reads as a men's scent. Adolfo Dominguez Viaje a Ceylan Hombre and Lacoste Red have a close profile.
