What does Nivea Men smell like?

It opens with pink pepper, cardamom and grapefruit, so citrus and spice come first. In the heart, lavender, coriander, geranium and cedarwood give it a woody, aromatic turn. The base of patchouli, vanilla, nutmeg, amber and tonka bean adds sweetness and a creamy softness.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall not far behind. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office, and most voters read it as masculine.
