The top is coriander, blackberry and mandarin orange, bright and fruity from the first spray. In the heart, sage, thyme and tobacco flower add a green, spicy edge. The base of mahogany, suede, musk and oakmoss settles the scent into a woody, smoky, leathery footing.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring, then fall, and it leans towards business and daily wear, with evenings a smaller share. Most voters read it as masculine and classic.
