What does The Scent for Him (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Ginger opens with a lively, spicy start. In the heart, maninka fruit adds a sweet, fruity softness while lavender pulls it towards a fresh, aromatic line. Leather takes over in the base; its woody, leathery side, together with the synthetic and sweet touches, gives the scent a modern feel.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, with summer well behind. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office, and about half of voters find it masculine. Hugo Boss The Scent Intense for Him and The Scent Le Parfum for Him have a close profile.
