What does Rock smell like?

It begins with bergamot, mandarin orange and black pepper: the citrus is bright, the pepper a little sharp. In the heart, lavender and cinnamon soften that freshness, with the cinnamon adding a hint of warmth. In the base, vetiver, musk and ambergris carry it to a powdery, creamy, woody finish.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as weak, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is not firm. It suits men who want a light, clean scent that stays close to the skin. Guerlain Eau de Cashmere and Zara Vetiver (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
