What does Challenge (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens bright with lemon, tangerine and bergamot. Lavender, ginger and violet leaf bring a spicy, slightly green touch in the heart, and teakwood and ebony settle into a woody base. Fruity and synthetic tones sit among the accords.

Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close and leaves a light trace. Most voters pick spring and summer, with leisure, daily wear and sport leading the occasions. It reads masculine and modern. Its profile is close to La Rive Concept and Giorgio Armani Armani Code Ice.
