What does Kani for Him smell like?

It wears at a moderate level in both longevity and sillage. Most voters call it masculine, with many calling it modern. Spring and summer lead, with autumn close behind, and it is mostly suggested for leisure, daily wear and the office.

Sage and lavender open with a fresh, citrusy lift. In the heart, cedarwood gives a woody frame while peony adds a soft floral touch. Musk and moss close the fougère structure on a calm base, with sweet and spicy touches along the way. Dolce & Gabbana pour Homme and Afnan 9am have a close profile.
