What does 1 Million Cologne smell like?

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters point to spring and summer, with winter the least chosen season. It is used mostly for leisure and daily wear, and also gets votes for evenings and nights out. It reads as masculine and modern.

Cardamom, mandarin orange and marine notes open it with a bright lift. The heart of cinnamon, rose and juniper berry adds spice and a light floral turn. Tonka bean, leather and patchouli sweeten the base and settle it on a soft footing.
