What does Mémoire d'Homme (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The top pairs grapefruit with liquorice leaf for a fresh, citrusy, lightly sweet start. Ginger and nutmeg bring a spicy warmth in the heart. The base of blue atlas cedar, vetiver and opoline leaves a woody, earthy, slightly resinous trail, with a synthetic sheen running through the whole.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Voters spread it almost evenly across leisure, evening, daily wear, nights out and business settings. It reads clearly masculine. Davidoff Horizon and Armaf Excellus Men share a close profile.
