What does Born to Be Wild smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It reads masculine.

In the top, orange and apple give a fruity freshness while black pepper adds spice. In the heart, teak, ebony and coriander build a woody body, and in the base tobacco, vanilla and frankincense sweeten the scent and lead it to a smoky, powdery finish. Salvatore Ferragamo F by Ferragamo pour Homme Black and Zara No Night have a close profile.
