From your scent profile
Jovoy Ha Long Bay is a unisex scent that opens fresh and green, then firms up with spice, wood and leather; it suits spring and summer days and relaxed hours.
Skunky's take: The scent you will reach for once T-shirt weather is back.

Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
People close to you notice, nobody gets overwhelmed.

LeatheryWhat does Ha Long Bay smell like?
It opens with mango, cardamom and black pepper, a fruity sweetness held in check by spice. Toward the heart, cedarwood, leather and nagarmotha add a green, leathery edge. The base of orcanox, amberwood and patchouli settles into a woody, slightly synthetic finish.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure time and evenings. Feminine and masculine votes run close, so it sits between the two. Anyone after a similar profile could also try David Beckham Beyond (Eau de Toilette) and Burberry Brit Rhythm for Him (Eau de Toilette).
