What does Pure Morning Man smell like?

Coriander and lavender lead the top, while cardamom, Japanese bamboo and mint bring coolness and a light spice to the heart. The base settles into cedar, sandalwood, amber and patchouli, giving it a woody foundation. Fresh, citrus and green accords dominate, with floral and fruity touches and a spicy side, plus a slightly synthetic feel. It has been discontinued. Cartier Eau de Cartier Concentrée and Loewe Esencia Sport share a close note and accord profile.
