OrientalWhat does Ultra Mâle smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with summer a small minority. Night out and evening wear lead, while office use is rarely chosen. It reads as masculine and modern.
The top is lavender, bergamot, mint and pear, with the pear giving a fruity, fresh start. Cumin, cinnamon and clary sage in the heart add a spicy edge. The base of vanilla, amber and woods settles into a sweet, gourmand, oriental warmth, with a synthetic side among the accords. Rayhaan Lion and Joop! Joop! Thrill Man have a close profile.
