What does Original (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with blood orange, bergamot and basil for a bright citrus lift, softened a little by apple blossom. The heart is a classic fougère frame of lavender, rosemary and sage, with juniper and fig leaf keeping it green and spicy. The base settles into sandalwood, cedarwood and tonka bean for a woody warmth, rounded off by musk and cashmere.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick it for work and daily wear, with leisure close behind. It reads as a clean, masculine fougère with an easy, everyday manner. Zippo Fire Phoenix and Pal Zileri Cerimonia pour Homme have a close profile.
