What does Mankind Hero (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The top is fresh and citrusy, with Italian lemon and coriander seed adding a light spice. In the heart, lavender, clary sage, vanilla and plum wood turn it sweeter, floral and creamy. White moss, musk, amberwood and coumarin carry the base, leaving a powdery, woody finish. Aquatic and fruity touches run through the accords.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick leisure and daily wear, though evening, night out and business also get votes. Chanel Boy and Zara Night pour Homme II have a close profile.
