What does Hirmer III smell like?

The top is vetiver, lemon and grapefruit, so the citrus and green side leads. Cocoa and amber in the heart add a light sweetness and a spicy warmth. Musk and vetiver in the base leave it drying down woody and clean.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself felt without filling the room. Most voters pick spring and fall, and lean towards leisure, business and daily wear. Most voters read it as masculine, with a smaller group calling it classic.
