What does Barfly smell like?

It opens with citrus notes and herbs, while lavender and jasmine bring a soft floral heart. In the base, musk, sandalwood and Bourbon vanilla sweeten it and give it a creamy, powdery feel. A spicy, slightly synthetic edge runs through it.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn, then spring, and it leans towards daily, leisure and office wear. Most voters read it as masculine. The Body Shop White Musk for Men and Clean Pure Soap have a close profile.
