What does #005 Mechanic smell like?

Voters find its longevity and sillage good, though these ratings rest on a small number of votes. It is classed as masculine, and its synthetic, woody character suits those who like a rough, workshop-like edge.

Red thyme opens with a spicy note, then Paraguayan petigrain and violet bring a floral softness in the heart. The base is dominated by styrax, patchouli, tobacco, ambroxan and ISO-E-Super: the scent settles into a resinous, earthy and smoky line, rounded out by animal and leathery tones. Motörhead Man and Masque Montecristo have a close profile.
