What does Halston Z (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity is rated moderate, though that rests on few votes. It reads as a men's scent, and no clear lean towards a particular season or occasion shows.

The opening is citrusy and green: basil, bergamot and lemon, with gardenia and cypress. In the heart, jasmine, geranium, coriander and cinnamon add spice, while vetiver and cedar build a woody floor. The base brings sweetness from tonka bean, amber and benzoin, balanced by the earthy dryness of leather and oakmoss. Aquatic and powdery touches run through the accords.
