What does Made to Measure (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall not far behind and winter least. Daily wear, leisure and business are the settings it leans towards, and it reads masculine and modern.

It opens with Calabrian bergamot, aniseed, French lavender and Tunisian orange blossom. The heart adds nutmeg, plum, cinnamon and juniper berry for a spicy, slightly fruity turn, with waterlily alongside. In the base, patchouli, leather, amber and labdanum settle into a sweet, woody finish with aquatic and synthetic shades.
