What does Xeryus (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens bright with bergamot, lemon, mandarin orange and lavender, while rose and jasmine add a soft floral touch. In the heart, cinnamon, coriander and juniper berry bring a spicy edge that sandalwood smooths out. The base settles into a dry, woody trail of cedar, leather, vetiver and oakmoss.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, then spring, and it is most often worn for leisure, daily use and business. Most voters read it as masculine, with a classic character also coming through. Ralph Lauren Safari for Men and Gucci Nobile have a close profile.
