What does Fly High Man (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage on the weak side, so it sits close to the skin. Most voters pick leisure and daily wear, with sport and office use not far behind. It reads masculine and leans towards daytime rather than evening.

The opening is led by the fruity brightness of blackcurrant and tangerine, with basil adding a green edge. In the heart, geranium and saffron bring a spicy note. The base settles on woods and heliotrope, giving a soft, powdery, woody finish. Ralph Lauren Polo Blue and Aaron Terence Hughes Haze (blue) have a close profile.
