What does Premium Blend smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Voters pick it mostly for daily wear and leisure, with sport and business following; few choose it for evenings. It is made for men.

The character is fresh and aquatic: mint and citrus bring coolness at first, then marine notes, violet leaf and rosemary add a green touch in the heart. In the base, musk, vetiver and driftwood dry it down on a lightly woody footing, while the fruity and sweet sides stay in the background.
