What does Lion smell like?

The top is lavender, bergamot, mint and pear, so it starts fresh and fruity. The heart of cumin, cinnamon and clary sage adds a spicy edge, and the base of cedar, vanilla, amber and patchouli settles into a woody, sweet, powdery foundation. Gourmand and creamy accords pull it toward the sweet side.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with night outs and evenings leading and the office trailing. It reads masculine and modern. Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Mâle and Lattafa Ramz Lattafa (Silver) have a close profile.
