What does The Tycoon smell like?

The top is ginger, galbanum, green lemon and honey pomelo, a sharp, bright citrus-and-green start. The heart adds a spicy, floral layer of black pepper, tea, cypriol and magnolia. The base settles into a woody, resinous ground of labdanum, oakmoss and patchouli.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards leisure, business and daily wear. Most voters read it as masculine, though it is a unisex perfume. Goutal Eau du Sud and Caron Eaux de Caron Fraîche have a close profile.
