What does Lapidus pour Homme Gold Extreme smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, though with few votes behind them. Voters place it most often in leisure and evening wear, then night out and daytime use. It reads as masculine.

It opens with pink pepper, grapefruit and cardamom, which give a light, sharp lift. The heart of plum wood, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove and orange blossom turns warm, spicy and sweet with a floral edge. In the base, vetiver, leather, vanilla and amber settle into a creamy, woody, leathery sweetness. Otto Kern Beyond Horizon and Franck Boclet Cashmere have a close profile.
