What does Basics Men Blue smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Voters lean towards leisure, daily and office wear, with some choosing it for sport and for evenings out. It is classed as a men's fragrance.

The top is led by lemon, bergamot and lavender, with coriander and petitgrain rounding out that bright opening. In the heart, cyclamen, jasmine and rose add a soft floral touch. The base turns sweeter with vanilla and tonka bean, while cedarwood and amber give it a warm footing. Nikos Sculpture Homme and Joop! Nightflight have a close profile.
