What does Man III (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, with winter trailing behind. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. More than half of voters read it as masculine, and some call it classic.
It opens with lavender, rosemary and bergamot, fresh and green. The heart turns floral and spicy, with juniper, thyme and rose coming forward. In the base, sandalwood, patchouli and moss settle into an earthy, resinous ground. Casamorati Casafutura and Rania J. Lavande 44 share a close profile.
