What does Mr. Sharp smell like?

Both peppers and bergamot lead the opening, while sage and cedar build a woody backbone in the heart. The base of amberwood, cocoa and tonka bean sweetens the scent and leaves an oriental, powdery warmth. A synthetic edge sits alongside the fresh and sweet accords.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and summer is the least chosen season. It leans towards night out and evening wear, and also gets votes for leisure and business. Maison Alhambra B.A.D Homme and Riiffs Carbon Noir have a close profile.
