What does Scent 79 Man (2012) smell like?

The top opens fresh and green with clary sage, bergamot and mugwort. In the heart, spices, frankincense and violet leaf add a resinous, earthy depth. The base of leather and woody notes leaves a smoky, leathery ground.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by winter and spring, and it suits daily wear, the office and evenings about equally. Half of voters find it masculine, and a good share call it classic. Rasasi La Yuqawam Ambergris Showers and Féraud Nuit des Sens have a close profile.
