What does The Man of Passion smell like?

It opens with aniseed, lemon and black pepper: bright, slightly sharp and spicy. In the heart, cardamom, patchouli and geranium add a floral, earthy side. The base of cedarwood, vanilla and sandalwood settles it onto a woody, sweet footing, while the fougère and oriental accords hold the spice and sweetness together.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few votes have been cast, so that picture is tentative. The fresh start and sweet base keep it close to everyday wear, in a clearly masculine style. David Beckham Beyond (Eau de Toilette) and Lattafa Ra'ed Luxe have a close profile.
