What does What About Adam (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens cool with tomato leaf, grapefruit and mint, while blackcurrant adds a soft fruity edge. In the heart, lavender, geranium, sandalwood and cedarwood build a woody backbone. The base of vetiver, labdanum, vanilla and oakmoss sweetens it slightly and adds an earthy depth.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office come up most. It mostly reads masculine, and its profile is close to Jo Malone Blackberry & Bay and Atkinsons Mint & Tonic.
