Pierre Cardin Emotion for Men Eau de Toilette is a men's fragrance that ties the bright bergamot, mandarin orange and grapefruit of its opening to juniper berry and ginger; it has been discontinued.
Skunky's take: That just-out-of-the-shower feeling, clean and fresh.

WoodyWhat does Emotion for Men (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It wears with moderate longevity and weak sillage, so it stays close to the skin rather than announcing itself. The character is masculine, and the light build suits everyday use. Creed Aventus Cologne and Dior Fahrenheit Summer 2006 have a close profile.
The opening is led by citrus: bergamot, mandarin orange and grapefruit give a fresh, fruity feel, with juniper berry drying it slightly. In the heart, aniseed and ginger add a spicy note. The base settles on vetiver, clove and sandalwood, a woody foundation.
