WoodyWhat does Deseo for Men smell like?
The top is lemon, yuzu and red berries, bright and fruity. In the heart, tobacco, gaiac wood and orris root pull the scent towards powdery and smoky. The base of vanilla, sandalwood and patchouli carries both sweetness and wood.
Longevity is rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so that rating is tentative. The pairing of fresh citrus with sweet warmth makes it an easygoing everyday men's scent. Maison XIII Eau d'Ambre by RPL and Molyneux Modern Quartz Men have a close profile.
