What does Baladin smell like?

Most voters recommend Baladin for spring, fall and summer, with winter further behind. It leans towards business and daily wear, and sits comfortably in leisure time too. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. In the character votes, masculine leads clearly.

It opens fresh, green and citrusy with mint, thyme and grapefruit. The heart turns woody and spicy with vetiver, birch and rosemary. Leathery notes and vanilla form the base, and the chypre and leathery accords come through. Davidoff Davidoff (Eau de Toilette) and Versace Versace L'Homme (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
