From your scent profile
Sonia Rykiel Rykiel Homme Eau de Toilette is a fresh, green men's fragrance where citrus and spice sit on a woody frame; it has been discontinued, and it suits spring and summer days.
Skunky's take: Plenty say it suits a meeting and a coffee break alike.

WoodyWhat does Rykiel Homme (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens with cardamom, mint, yuzu and grapefruit, cool and bright. The heart brings violet, nutmeg, cinnamon and cypress, adding a floral and spicy side. The base of cedarwood, sandalwood, fir balsam and amber gives it a warm, woody finish.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter well behind. It fits daily wear, leisure and the office comfortably, thanks to its light touch. Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme and Molton Brown Vetiver & Grapefruit have a close profile.
