What does HM (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters pick spring most often, followed by fall and summer, and the perfume leans towards leisure and daily wear, with office and evening use not far behind. Most voters call it masculine, though a good share see it as modern.

The top notes of lemon and lavender give a fresh, citrusy start, and jasmine adds a floral softness in the heart. In the base, tonka bean, vanilla and woody notes pull it towards a sweet, gourmand and lightly powdery finish, with spicy and fruity touches among the accords. Tauer Perfumes № 10 - Une Rose Vermeille and Zara Night pour Homme II Winter have a close profile.
