What does Crystal Edition - Gold smell like?

The top is orange, orange blossom and bergamot, so it opens fresh, fruity and lightly sweet. Pepper, nutmeg and cardamom bring a spicy warmth to the heart. Cedarwood, musk and amber settle underneath as a woody, resinous base. Green and synthetic shades also run through the accords, and the structure follows a fougère line.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It is classed as a masculine fragrance. Jil Sander Sun Men (Eau de Toilette) and Lacoste L'Homme Lacoste Timeless have a close profile.
