SpicyWhat does AM-PM smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it sits close rather than leaving a heavy trail. The number of ratings is small, so these impressions are tentative. It is positioned as a men's fragrance.
Ginger opens with a lively, spicy lift. Sage adds a light herbal touch in the heart, and patchouli gives an earthy depth underneath. Among the accords, the fresh, citrus and fruity sides lead, with sweetness and spice in support and a synthetic edge running through. Akro Smile and Azzaro Wanted Tonic have a close profile.
