What does Hypnôse Homme Cologne smell like?

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. It suits those who want a light scent that stays close to the skin, and it may need refreshing during the day. It reads as masculine.

Citrus notes come first, while Paraguayan petigrain adds a green freshness. Coriander seed and lavender push it gently towards spicy and floral, and sandalwood and cedar soften it into a woody finish. The overall impression is a fresh, green, slightly fruity cologne. Marc O'Polo Pure Morning Man and Hermès Eau d'Orange Douce have a close profile.
