What does The Road to Paradise is Rough smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it neither dominates a room nor fades quickly. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer next. It leans towards leisure and daily wear and sits comfortably at the office too. Voters describe its character as masculine and modern.

It opens with apple, and black suede in the heart adds a leathery side. The base holds woods, musk and lavender, while spicy and floral touches temper the sweetness. The overall impression is clean, slightly synthetic and woody. Zara Orchid Intense and Diesel Fuel for Life Homme (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
