What does City Breeze for Him (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The opening pairs the citrus of grapefruit with the green bite of basil and a light sweetness from apple. In the heart, sage and violet leaf keep the green note going while seawater adds coolness. The base of vetiver, patchouli, moss and cedarwood settles the scent on a woody, earthy footing, though the overall impression stays fresh.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick it for daily wear and leisure, with sport and business trailing behind. It is positioned as a men's fragrance. Hugo Boss Hugo (Eau de Toilette) and Esprit Esprit Man (2019) have a close profile.
