What does Best smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, both around six out of ten, though the number of votes is small. No clear lean towards a season or occasion shows up. With its fresh, woody build it reads masculine.

It opens cool and spicy with pink pepper, peppermint, orange, nutmeg and grapefruit. In the heart, vetiver, cedar, ginger and jasmine lay a woody base. Patchouli, sandalwood, frankincense and labdanum carry the finish into a smoky, warm tone. Its profile is close to Georges Mezotti Blue Rain and Honoré Payan Bermudes.
