What does The Man Cobalt smell like?
It starts with the citrus brightness of bergamot and lemon, joined by the aromatic edge of lavender. In the heart, cedar gives a woody backbone while violet adds a soft floral touch. The base of musk and leather dries down warm and leathery, moving from a fresh, spicy start to a more grounded finish.
Voters find both longevity and sillage good. They lean towards fall and spring, then winter, and pick daily wear, leisure and business settings most often. Most call its character masculine and classic. Roberto Cavalli Man and Davidoff Silver Shadow Private have a close profile.
