SpicyWhat does Wave for Him (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick summer, then spring, and leisure and daily wear lead, with sport and business also chosen. It reads masculine and modern. It has been discontinued.
The heart holds Californian lavender, cypress and neroli, bringing a light green, aromatic touch after the citrus. The base of driftwood, tonka bean, musk and salt dries down woody, slightly sweet and salty. Fruity and spicy accords stay in the background. Versace Pour Homme Dylan Blue and Joop! Jump have a close profile.
