What does Explorer Platinum smell like?

Most voters pick spring, followed by autumn and summer, with winter trailing behind. Daily wear, business and leisure lead the occasions. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters find it masculine, while classic and modern get about equal votes.

It opens with the green freshness of violet leaf, moves to clary sage in the heart and rests on cedarwood, which gives it a woody base. A light sweetness and some spice sit alongside the fresh and green accords, with a slightly synthetic sheen. Novellista Velvet Dusk and Penhaligon's Bold Blend have a close profile.
