What does Paul Smith Men (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens with basil, bergamot and cardamom, giving a citrusy, green and lightly spicy freshness. In the heart, fig, geranium and violet leaf add a soft floral and fruity touch, and sandalwood and vetiver settle the scent into a woody line.
Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the most chosen settings. It reads masculine and modern. Paul Smith Extreme Men (Eau de Toilette) and Nonfiction Santal Cream have a close profile.
