What does Overkill smell like?

It opens with frankincense, ginger and lemon: citrus freshness set against a resinous edge and spice. In the heart, styrax and black pepper push it towards a woody, smoky character. The base is carried by gaiac wood, musk, Texas cedar and patchouli. The overall impression is green, dry and slightly synthetic.

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, while summer gets few votes. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, with evening and business use also getting votes. More than half of voters call it masculine, and some find it classic. Motörhead Ace of Spades and Amouage Search have a close profile.
