What does Classic Motion smell like?

It opens with mint, bergamot, birch leaf and lemon, a bright, green citrus start. Coriander, black pepper, lavender and marine notes follow, adding a little spice to the aquatic freshness. Vetiver, sandalwood and patchouli form a woody base, which white musk and amber soften and sweeten.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear. It reads mostly masculine, though some voters call it modern or classic. Ralph Lauren Polo Sport (Eau de Toilette) and La Martina Maserati Pure Code have a close profile.
