PowderyWhat does VIP for Him (2012) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
The top opens with rum, rhubarb and bergamot, and a heart of apple, aquatic notes and lavender softens it. The base of tonka bean, sandalwood and white chocolate dries down sweet and powdery.
Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and leisure wear lead. Its character reads modern and masculine. Joop! Joop! Thrill Man and Star Wars Empire Man have a close profile.
