Mandarin orange and bergamot open with a bright, lively citrus. In the heart, rosemary and orange blossom absolute pull the scent in a green, lightly spicy direction. Patchouli and moss form a woody, earthy base, and the fresh character holds through to the end.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, work and everyday wear lead the occasions. It reads masculine; Cartier Roadster Sport (Eau de Toilette) and Dries Van Noten Crazy Basil have a close profile.
