What does Gentlemen's Collection - The Contemporary smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, with most voters scoring both high, though the number of votes is small. It is classed as a masculine fragrance.
The top has fruity notes, pink pepper and sage, giving a fresh, aquatic start. In the heart, plum, cardamom, nutmeg and cinnamon add spicy warmth. The base joins gourmand and animalic notes with cedarwood and amber, settling sweet, woody and slightly powdery.
