WoodyWhat does Mankind (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
The top notes are cardamom, ginger, pineapple and tarragon, with the fresh and fruity accords leading. The heart of vetiver, cinnamon and cedar adds a spicy, woody backbone. The base of cashmere wood, tonka bean, musk, sandalwood and oakmoss softens and rounds it off.
Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Voters place it mostly in daily and leisure wear, followed by the office. Dior Higher Energy and Hugo Boss Boss in Motion have a close profile.
