What does Whitehall (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with orange blossom, grapefruit and bergamot, a bright citrus start. Geranium adds a green touch at the heart, while black pepper and white pepper bring the spice forward. The base of white amber, Bourbon vetiver, Russian leather and Singapore patchouli settles into a smoky, powdery, woody finish.

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with daily wear, leisure and business the leading occasions. Voters mostly read it as masculine and classic. Dunhill Icon Elite and Police Instinct have a close profile.
