What does Colossus smell like?

Mint, green apple and lemon come first, giving a citrusy, green and fruity freshness. In the heart, cedarwood and cranebill add a woody frame, and the scent then sweetens with vanilla, moss and tonka bean into a softer, powdery, creamy finish.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, business and daily wear. Voters mostly call its character masculine, with a share calling it modern.
