What does Illegal smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evenings and nights out leading, though it also works for leisure time. Its character reads mostly masculine.

It opens fresh, green and spicy with cardamom, ginger, cannabis and absinth. In the heart, geranium, leather and cashmere wood make it leathery and woody. The base of ambrette seed, gaiac wood and vetiver dries down earthy. A sweet, synthetic tone runs through the accords. Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Le Parfum and Detaille Yachting have a close profile.
