What does No Ordinary Man smell like?

Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good. Autumn and spring lead, with winter and summer further behind. Business, daily and leisure wear dominate, while evening and night out are chosen less. Close to half of voters call it masculine, and the rest describe it as classic or modern.

It opens with black pepper, star anise, bergamot and yuzu, fresh and spicy. In the heart, hazelnut, white violet and myrrh add a floral, lightly sweet softness. The base of patchouli, leather, vetiver and musk settles it into a woody, leathery footing, with a green edge running through.
