What does Born To Shine for Man smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays noticeable through the day without filling a room. The number of ratings is small, which makes this a rough picture rather than a firm verdict. It reads as masculine.

The opening is led by mandarin orange, apple and mint, and the citrus, fruity and green accords give it a lively start. In the heart, lavender, cardamom and Madagascan cinnamon push the scent towards something spicy and sweet. Leather, amber and patchouli form a warm, slightly synthetic base. Calvin Klein CK Free Blue and Rabanne Invictus Platinum have a close profile.
