What does Pour Lui (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens fresh and green with aldehydes, lavender, sage and galbanum, while bergamot and juniper berry lighten the start. In the heart, cedar, vetiver and patchouli build an earthy spine, with cinnamon and carnation adding spice. The base leans on labdanum, leather and oakmoss, softened by sandalwood and musk.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening and night-out wear lead the occasions. About half call it masculine, and many find it classic. Alfred Sung Sung Homme and Krizia Krizia Uomo have a close profile.
