WoodyWhat does Bang Bang smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer not far behind. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office, with fewer choosing it for nights out. Voters mostly find it masculine and modern.
The top notes are cardamom, lemon and fennel, giving a bright, spicy and lightly sweet opening. Sandalwood in the heart carries it onto a woody footing, and musk in the base softens it. A synthetic edge runs through the accords. Zara Sandalwood (Eau de Toilette) and G. Bellini X-Bolt have a close profile.
