What does Cadet №1 for Men / Кадетский №1 smell like?

The notes are not split into top, heart and base but read as one whole. Earthy patchouli joins the oriental notes, with a gourmand sweetness and a powdery softness added on top. Smoky and leathery shades sit behind, along with a synthetic sheen, darkening the character.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the sample is small and these figures should be taken loosely. As a men's fragrance, its warm, spicy build suggests it sits more comfortably in cooler weather. Those looking for a close profile might also try Margaret Astor Care and Ard Al Zaafaran Dehn al Oudh.
