What does Seven (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The top notes of mandarin orange, apple and bergamot give a fresh, fruity start. Cinnamon, saffron and white pepper bring spice to the heart. The base lays down a woody floor of mahogany, cedarwood and sandalwood, while caramel and vanilla sweeten it, with leather, amber and musk rounding things out. Overall it reads fresh, sweet and slightly synthetic.

Both longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Voters lean towards daily wear and leisure, with business settings close behind. Its profile is close to James Bond 007 Seven Intense and Carlos Santana Carlos Santana Men.
