What does Born to be Unforgettable / Bad Boys Are No Good But Good Boys Are No Fun smell like?

Lime opens with coolness and a fruity brightness. In the heart, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla add a spicy, sweet warmth, and cedarwood forms a woody base. With a faintly synthetic edge, it sits balanced between fresh and sweet.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, with winter chosen less. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and most voters call it masculine and modern. Its profile is close to Scuderia Ferrari Black and Boss Bottled.
