What does Instinct smell like?

The top notes bring a citrus brightness from grapefruit and bergamot, with black pepper adding a spicy edge. In the heart, cedarwood and geranium give a green, dry feel. Patchouli and vetiver in the base ground it in an earthy finish.

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It is classed as a men's fragrance. Louis Vuitton Orage and Boucheron Singulier have a close profile.
