What does Jako (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange and grapefruit, while plum adds a light fruity sweetness. In the heart, cardamom, ginger and rosewood bring a spicy warmth. The base of sandalwood, musk, frankincense and leather settles into a powdery, woody and leathery finish.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Fall gets slightly more votes, but all four seasons sit close together, and it suits daily wear, leisure and nights out alike. Most voters read it as masculine. Dunhill Century and Amouage Lyric Man have a close profile.
