What does Mark Cross (Eau de Cologne) smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards nights out and evenings. Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters find it masculine, and some call it classic.

As a whole it is warm and oriental. Amber and tobacco bring sweetness, while the woods lay a dry, earthy base. Spicy and resinous accords add a smoky, leathery edge on top. Taif Al-Emarat Year of Zayed and Montale Original Aoud have a close profile.
