What does Gong smell like?

Lime and bergamot give it a fresh citrus feel. Ginger, Thai ginger and green pepper add a spicy, slightly sharp greenness, while blueberry brings a soft fruity touch. Leather, sandalwood and amber build a woody, leathery base, softened by violet and musk.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small. It reads balanced between masculine and feminine. Mark Birley for Men and D. R. Harris Windsor have a close profile.
