What does Afropolis smell like?

It opens on citrus fruits, gin, juniper and mint, fresh, green and lightly spicy. In the heart, blond woods, iris, marine notes and oakmoss bring out the aquatic and powdery sides. The base of vetiver, Kashmiri musk, ebony and ambergris settles into a woody, faintly sweet finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It leans neither masculine nor feminine. Lattafa Atlas and Guerlain L'Homme Idéal Cool have a close profile.
