What does Goodman's smell like?

The citrus notes give a fresh, green start, followed by a floral heart of neroli, ylang-ylang and jasmine. In the base, cedarwood, vetiver and frankincense build a resinous, smoky floor, while cinnamon and cardamom keep the spice in the background. The overall style is chypre.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter next; it is chosen most for nights out and evenings, and also suits business and leisure. Its character reads masculine and classic. Roja Parfums Bergdorf Goodman and Grossmith Betrothal have a close profile.
