What does Ahead (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It wears at a moderate strength, with moderate longevity and projection. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Over half of the voters read it as masculine, and some find it modern.

The top opens with Provençal lavender, pepper and bergamot, where lavender and bergamot keep it bright and the pepper adds a spicy edge. In the heart, clary sage, neroli and geranium bring a floral, green side. The base of cedarwood, vanilla and iris leaves a woody, sweet and powdery finish. Laboratorio Olfattivo Noblige and Ajmal Evoke Gold Edition for Him have a close profile.
