What does Fortis smell like?

Saffron and cumin give it a spicy warmth, while cedar and gaiac wood add a smoky, earthy woodiness. Sandalwood, musk and vanilla soften that edge and settle it onto a sweet, resinous base, and the animal accord gives the scent a darker character.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night-out wear lead the occasion votes. Masculine takes the largest share of character votes, though a fair number also call it feminine. Jeroboam Miksado and Proraso Wood and Spice have a close profile.
