What does [¹H] Hydrogen smell like?

It reads fresh and green: mandarin orange and basil give a bright start, while melon adds a soft fruity note. Jasmine, spices and vanilla sweeten that coolness slightly, and oakmoss, woods and musk set a woody base. Aldehydes and lichen lend it a clean, synthetic edge.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is worn for leisure, daily use and the office. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, in keeping with its unisex nature. Polo Blue (Eau de Toilette) and Mexx Man (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
