What does Gentleman Society (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The top pairs French sage with Guatemala cardamom for a fresh, spicy start. In the heart, French narcissus absolute meets three vetivers, and the base of Himalayan cedar, Australian sandalwood and Bourbon vanilla absolute turns creamy, woody and softly sweet.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with summer well behind, and it suits evenings and nights out best while also working for daily and office wear. Its character reads mostly masculine and modern.
