ResinousWhat does KL Homme (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens with bergamot, orange and lemon softened by rosewood. The heart is floral with carnation, rose and jasmine, while cinnamon and patchouli add a spicy, earthy weight. The base turns sweet and powdery with benzoin, amber and vanilla, with musk and civet adding an animalic depth.
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Voters mostly call its character masculine and classic. Its profile is close to Chanel Coco (Eau de Parfum) and Mülhens Amun (Eau de Toilette).
