What does Shards of Cedar & Red Thyme smell like?

Mint, bergamot, lavender and vetiver sit side by side. Citrus and mint bring the freshness, while lavender and vetiver ground it in a green, lightly spicy, woody base. The fougère structure gives it a clean, cologne-like feel, and the floral and aquatic touches soften its edges.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself known up close without filling the room. Most voters pick it for leisure, with business and daily wear next. Coty Aspen for Men and Zara Ice Walk have a close profile.
