What does Otto Kern Man (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The citrus brightness of the top is cut by the dry, slightly resinous feel of juniper. At the heart, black pepper, ginger and orange blossom set spice beside a sweet floral note. The base of moss, vetiver, musk and sandalwood settles the scent onto an earthy, smoky and woody ground, and the fougère structure ties the fresh opening to that darker base.

Otto Kern Man has been discontinued. Luigi Colani Colani (Eau de Toilette) and Arabian Oud Diamond have a close profile.
