What does Anthracite pour l'Homme (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It leans towards daytime wear: voters split evenly between daily, leisure and business use, with evening and night out not far behind. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. It has been discontinued, but it still reads as a clearly masculine scent.

The top is grapefruit, bergamot and green notes, with sweet corn and marjoram adding a light sweetness and a touch of spice. Lavender, iris and jasmine bring a floral, powdery softness to the heart. Sandalwood, cedar, amber and moss form a woody, resinous base.
