What does Endymion smell like?

It opens fresh and citrusy with bergamot, mandarin orange, lavender and sage. Coffee absolute and geranium take the middle, and the base turns spicy and woody with sandalwood, vetiver, leather, nutmeg and black pepper. Sweet and floral touches soften the dry edges.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business come up most often. The majority read it as masculine, though many also call it classic. Endymion Concentré and Dunhill Icon share a close profile.
