What does Dry Oil smell like?

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate. Most pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer a small share. It is chosen most for nights out and evenings, and it also sits close to business and daily wear. Most voters read it as masculine.

Cardamom, lemon, petitgrain and neroli give a fresh, spicy start. Lavender, iris and rose soften it into a powdery middle. In the base, vanilla, coumarin, musk and cedarwood leave a sweet, gourmand woodiness. Lancôme Hypnôse Homme and Iceberg The Iceberg Fragrance Men have a close profile.
