What does L'oscar pour Homme smell like?

It opens with the citrus freshness of grapefruit, then moves into a floral, spicy heart of cistus, mayflower and carnation. The base is led by galbanum, cedarwood, vetiver and oakmoss, with sandalwood and pink pepper alongside. The overall impression is a green, powdery and slightly smoky chypre.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, with summer well behind. It leans towards leisure, evening and night out, and works at the office too. Most voters read it as masculine and classic. The Dua Brand Pure London and Sospiro Basso have a close profile.
