What does Signature Speed (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and autumn, with summer close behind and winter well back. Daily wear, leisure and work are the leading occasions. Voters mostly read it as masculine, with a share calling it modern.

The top notes of vervain, lemon, black pepper and ginger open fresh and spicy. In the heart, orange blossom, mint, lavender and pineapple add a green, fruity touch. The base of vanilla, tonka bean, patchouli and woods sweetens it and settles it on a woody, powdery footing. La Rive Colossus and Custo Barcelona Custo Man have a close profile.
