What does Oscar for Men (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Most voters read it as masculine, and some call it classic. It leans towards spring, fall and summer, and less towards winter. It suits daily wear, leisure and the office best. Longevity is good and sillage moderate.

It opens with pepper, mandarin orange, bergamot and fir resin, bright and crisp. The heart adds lily, rose, nutmeg and lavender, floral with a spicy edge. The base of sandalwood, frankincense, leather and musk dries down woody and a little smoky.
