WoodyWhat does John Richmond for Men smell like?
Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Some voters also pick up a synthetic edge. With no season or occasion votes, there is little to say beyond that it is a men's scent.
It opens with bergamot, orange blossom and ginger for a fresh, citrusy start. In the heart, black pepper, cardamom and rosemary add a spicy, green note while watermelon brings a light fruitiness. Vetiver, cedar, musk and amber anchor it in a woody base.
