What does Motörhead Man smell like?
It opens with black pepper and cardamom in a spicy start. In the heart, iris, jasmine, white blossoms and violet add a soft floral layer, while the base of patchouli, amber, leather and oakmoss settles into a woody, resinous, leathery ground.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring taking the rest, and it leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out. Most voters read it as masculine. Floris Mahon Leather and John Richmond Black Metal Man have a close profile.
