What does Scotish (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with mint and bergamot for a bright start. In the heart, cedarwood and lavender lay a woody, lightly smoky base, and vanilla and ambergris then sweeten the drydown toward a gourmand feel. Fresh and sweet accords lead, with a synthetic edge.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is mostly worn for leisure, daily use and the office. Most voters read it as masculine. Sangado Irrésistible and Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
