What does SoCal (Cologne) smell like?

Pineapple brings a fruity, sweet note, rosemary balances it with a spicy, lightly woody freshness, and suede sits underneath as a soft base. The fresh, citrus character leads, with a slightly synthetic brightness running through it.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and winter is the least chosen season. Leisure and daily wear lead the occasions, and it reads masculine and modern. It has been discontinued. Calvin Klein Eternity for Men Flame and Puma Cross the Line - Fresh & Marine have a close profile.
