What does Bold Blend smell like?

It opens with peppermint and black pepper, a sharp, cool and spicy start. Violet leaf and clary sage keep the green tone going in the heart. The base of cypriol, cypress and Palo Santo brings a woody, earthy footing, softened by sweet and slightly synthetic touches.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though from a small number of votes. It sits comfortably on any skin, neither heavy nor overly sweet. Montblanc Explorer Platinum and Penhaligon's Sports Car Club have a close profile.
