What does Sander for Men Summer Cologne smell like?

Florida grapefruit and myrtle give it a bright, green citrus feel. Cypress and cashmere wood form a woody frame, while pepper adds a spicy, slightly synthetic edge. The notes read as one whole, and the aquatic side never turns heavy.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, which suits a cologne this light. Voters place it mostly in daily, leisure, business and sport use, with evening and night out far behind. Most call it masculine, though some find it feminine. Tom Ford Costa Azzurra Acqua and Karl Lagerfeld Bois de Cyprès have a close profile.
