What does Derrick (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Most voters pick fall, then winter; it can also be worn in spring, while summer is the least favoured. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. It works for daily wear, evenings and nights out, and fits an office setting too. Half of the voters call its character masculine, and a good share call it classic.

It opens with vetiver, pepper, cinnamon and cedar. In the heart, coriander, patchouli, nutmeg and ginger keep the spice going. In the base, oakmoss and sandalwood settle it into an earthy, smoky and resinous woodiness.
