What does Athletic Man (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens fresh and green with galbanum and rosemary. The heart brings woody notes, vetiver and sandalwood forward, while patchouli, amber and oakmoss in the base add an earthy, slightly animal depth. Sweet and spicy tones stay in the background, and a synthetic edge can be sensed.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few people have voted on either. Sold as a men's fragrance, this fougère suits those who like a fresh scent. French Biscotos Loup Solitaire and Guépard Guépard for Man have a close profile.
