What does Dare for Men smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both moderate, though the vote counts are small, so those figures are tentative. It is made for men, and its fresh, soft character suits everyday wear.
Bergamot and juniper berry give the opening its freshness while white pepper adds spice. In the heart, geranium, jasmine and cashmere wood bring a sweet, floral softness. It dries down to cedarwood, musk and patchouli, woody with a faintly earthy base. A synthetic edge runs through the accords.
