Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night out leading the occasions. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters read it as masculine, though a modern streak runs through it.
It opens with ginger adding a spicy lift. Towards the heart, maninka fruit and mocha sweeten it, and in the base cocoa absolute settles into a creamy, slightly powdery gourmand floor. A woody backdrop keeps it dry. Hugo Boss The Scent Absolute for Him and The Scent Magnetic for Him have a close profile.
