What does No 8: 1980's Dad Greenshave smell like?

Citrus comes first: orange, lime and bergamot meet the herbal green of lavender and rosemary. In the heart, coriander, clove and basil add spice, softened by geranium and jasmine absolute. The base of vetiver, patchouli and oakmoss gives a woody, earthy footing, with tonka bean adding a little sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick spring, summer and autumn, with winter further behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, with evening and office also getting votes. Milano Cento and Chanel Platinum Égoïste have a close profile.
