What does Richmond X Man smell like?

At the start, bergamot and lemon give a bright citrus lift, violet leaf adds a green edge and pepper a light spice. The heart of lavender, pineapple and cashmeran brings out the fruity and floral side. The base of patchouli, tonka bean, nagarmotha and Viginia cedar leaves a sweet, woody finish. Aquatic and synthetic tones run through the accords.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it may need a refresh through the day, though the vote count is small and these readings are tentative. It is presented as a men's fragrance. Bentley Bentley for Men Azure and Aigner Clear Day for Men (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
