EarthyWhat does Sex Appeal for Men (Cologne) smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, while spring and summer lag behind. Night out, evening and leisure are the occasions named most often. Most voters read it as masculine, and a good share call it classic.
The scent leans on its sweet, spicy and woody accords. Sandalwood and spices set a warm, oriental base, and patchouli adds an earthy depth. Powdery and animal touches soften that warmth, and the sweetness stays present throughout.
