What does Herakles smell like?

It opens bright and fruity with pineapple and apple, while gaiac wood, sandalwood and lavender give it a clean, woody footing. In the heart, geranium, violet and jasmine add a soft floral touch. The base turns sweeter with vanilla, balanced by patchouli, pepper and cardamom.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring, and it suits leisure, evening and business wear. Most see it as masculine, with a modern side too. Al Haramain Détour Noir and MAD Parfumeur Trono have a close profile.
