Blood orange and roasted pineapple give the opening a bright, fruity edge. Vanilla in the heart turns it creamy and gourmand, while ebony in the base brings out the woody and spicy sides. A synthetic touch stays noticeable throughout.
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards night-out and evening wear rather than the office. It reads masculine and modern. Polo Red Extreme and The Scent Magnetic for Him share a close profile.
