What does Maël - Scent Of Men smell like?

It opens with orange, grapefruit, corn mint, black pepper and cardamom: crisp, green and slightly bitter. In the heart, cumin, rose and cinnamon bring the spice forward while the floral and sweet sides stay in the background. The base of patchouli, leather and woods settles it into a woody, leathery finish.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though few people have voted, so treat that as tentative. It is positioned as a men's fragrance. Guerlain Habit Rouge L'Instinct and Jovoy Ha Long Bay have a close profile.
