What does Life smell like?

It opens with sea salt and Ivory Coast ginger, a salty freshness with a light touch of spice. In the heart, sage, violet leaf and Provençal lavender build a green, aromatic feel. The base of tonka bean, hinoki wood and Irish moss settles it onto a soft, woody footing.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as weak, though the number of votes is small, so that picture is tentative. It suits men looking for a light, clean everyday scent, and voters also rate it well for the money.
