What does ExpLOud smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, with summer a small minority. It leans towards leisure and evenings, with a place on nights out too. Nearly half of voters read it as masculine.

It opens with frankincense, coriander, pink pepper, black pepper and nutmeg, a fresh and sharp layer of spice. Cypriol and gardenia join in the heart. Madagascan vetiver, Indian oud, sandalwood and patchouli form a woody, smoky base, and a synthetic sheen runs through the whole. Cristiano Fissore Cashmere Men and Amouage Honour Man have a close profile.
