What does Fitnessence smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, though only a handful of ratings stand behind these figures, so they are only a rough guide. It sits comfortably on men and women alike.

The top leans on galbanum, nutmeg, clove and Atlas cedar, giving a green, spicy start. In the heart, green tea, cypress and spruce strengthen the woody side. The base settles into a warmer, smoky ground of oud, sandalwood and amber. Commodity Book+ and Atkinsons Spice of London have a close profile.
