What does Mankind Legacy (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated as good, though the small number of votes means these ratings are only indicative. Value for money scores high. Made for men, it wears comfortably as an everyday scent.
The opening pairs the bright citrus freshness of mandarin and clary sage with nutmeg's spice. Toward the heart, fir balsam adds a cool green edge and pink pepper a light bite. In the base, Atlas cedar, amyris and vetiver give it a dry, woody footing, while aquatic and fruity touches keep it light.
