What does Halston Z-14 (Cologne) smell like?

It opens fresh, green and citrusy with bergamot, lemon and basil, while cypress dries that freshness into a sharper green. In the heart, vetiver, patchouli, cinnamon and cedarwood push it towards a spicy, woody character. The base of leather, moss, amber and frankincense settles into a resinous, smoky ground.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, and it is named a little more often for leisure and daily wear. Most voters read it as masculine, many as classic. Halston Halston Z (Eau de Toilette) and Azzaro Azzaro pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
