What does Palladium smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange, cardamom and knotweed, then moves into a heart of ozone, geranium and lavender that keeps things cool. The base of cedarwood, patchouli and Amber Xtreme™ gives it a woody, lightly sweet footing. The overall impression is fresh and fruity, with spice staying in the background.

Voters find both longevity and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. It is most often suggested for leisure, daily wear and the office, with sport also getting a share. Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Cologne Bleue and Dolce & Gabbana K (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
