What does Island Water Men smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate: neither a skin scent nor one that fills a room. Voters place it mostly in leisure and daily use, followed by sport and business, and it is rarely chosen for nights out.

It opens with bergamot, grape leaf and Brazilian mango, a fresh, green and lightly fruity start. In the heart, sandalwood, cannabispirol and clary sage bring a woody, spicy turn. The base of musk, whisky and amberwood closes on a soft, sweet woodiness, with the aquatic and synthetic tones running through the whole.
