What does Select smell like?

Most voters pick summer and spring, with autumn behind and winter rarely chosen. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most often. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, and most voters find it masculine, with some calling it modern.

It opens with blackcurrant and bergamot, and the heart of peppermint and apple keeps the freshness fruity and cool. The base of ambrox, musk and patchouli settles it onto a woody, lightly spicy footing with a synthetic sheen.
