What does Lover Man smell like?
The top is Calabrian bergamot, saffron and myrrh: the bergamot brightens it briefly while saffron and myrrh add a resinous depth. In the heart, spicy notes, Atlas cedar and cocoa bean bring a gourmand sweetness. The base of cashmere wood, oud and gaiac wood gives it a woody, oriental footing.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. Night out and evening are the most voted occasions, and voters mostly read it as masculine. Veronique Gabai Oud Elixir and Laboratorio Olfattivo Alkemi have a close profile.
