What does Macassar (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It begins cool and green, with pine needle, bergamot and tarragon. In the heart, vetiver, cedar and patchouli build a woody, earthy base, softened by jasmine and geranium. Oakmoss, amber and leather add an animalic, resinous depth underneath.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and it leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out. Most voters read it as masculine and classic. Caron Yatagan and Ralph Lauren Polo Crest have a close profile.
