What does True Story Men smell like?
The top notes of mandarin orange and bergamot open bright and crisp. In the heart, cinnamon and leather bring a spicy, leathery weight. Amber and patchouli then settle into a sweet, woody base, with a faintly synthetic edge running through the accords.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and it is used for leisure, evenings and the office. Most voters read it as masculine and modern.
