What does Heroic Man smell like?

It opens with mint, cardamom, pink pepper and violet leaf, a cool, spicy start. In the heart, lavender and sage meet cinnamon, while melon and pineapple push the scent towards fruity sweetness. The base of cedarwood, amberwood, vanilla and chestnut leaves a warm, soft woodiness.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure. Most voters read it as masculine. Kappa Black and Swiss Arabian Primal Code have a close profile.
