What does Private for Men smell like?
Mandarin orange, bergamot and grapefruit open with a cooling citrus burst, while lavender and aquatic notes in the heart keep it green and watery. In the base, cedarwood, amber and coumarin sweeten the scent and add a powdery, creamy softness, with leather staying in the background.
Longevity is rated weak and sillage moderate, though the small number of votes means this should be read with caution. Its fresh, clean character sits close to everyday wear.
