What does Classic Red smell like?

The top notes are bergamot, blackcurrant and raspberry, so it starts juicy and bright. In the heart, ozone, laurel, jasmine leaf and chili add a floral, lightly spicy turn. Patchouli, cedar and white amber form a soft woody base. A synthetic edge also shows among the accords.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter close behind, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. Most voters find it masculine. Montblanc Individuel (Eau de Toilette) and Elizabeth Arden Untold have a close profile.
