What does Stetson Original (1981) / Stetson (Cologne) smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter close behind. It is worn mostly for leisure and daily use, and also for evenings and the office. Voters mostly call its character masculine and classic.
Bergamot, lemon and lavender give a cool, bright start, with clary sage and lime reinforcing it. In the heart, geranium, vetiver, cedar and orris root build a green, earthy, powdery base. Honey, vanilla, tonka bean and amber add sweetness at the end and soften the whole. Lacoste Original and Gucci pour Homme have a close profile.
