What does English Breakfast smell like?

It opens with geranium, pepper, ginger, galbanum and orange: citrusy, spicy and distinctly green. Jasmine, rosewood and gardenia soften that edge in the heart. Fir, cedarwood and vetiver form a woody base, while labdanum, patchouli and benzoin add a light gourmand warmth.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Voters pick it mostly for daily wear, leisure and the office. Rasasi Oudh al Misk and Cartier Déclaration Cologne have a close profile.
