What does Une Histoire d'Homme Irrésistible smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable up close without filling the room. Most voters recommend spring and fall, with summer not far behind. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Most voters read it as masculine and classic.

Citrus and green notes lead at the start: the brightness of bergamot meets the green bite of fig leaf. The accords also carry a fruity, sweet side and a touch of spice. Sandalwood in the heart and cedarwood in the base settle it into a calmer, woody finish. Clean Citron Fig and Zara Zara Man have a close profile.
