What does Red for Men (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good. Most votes go to autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer chosen by few. It leans towards leisure, evening and daily wear. Most voters read it as masculine, and about a third call it classic.

The top has bergamot, artemisia, basil and caraway. In the heart, rose, jasmine, thyme and carnation lead, while juniper berry and geranium stay in the background. The base of patchouli, leather, oakmoss, amber and cedar settles it into a woody, spicy, slightly sweet finish. Polo (Eau de Toilette) and Chevignon (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
