What does TL pour Lui (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with bergamot, mint and lavender for freshness, softened by orange blossom. The heart brings lily of the valley, vanilla and cedarwood; in the base, sandalwood, musk and amber carry it into a sweet, powdery warmth, with patchouli staying in the background.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, while summer draws a clearly smaller share. It is worn for evenings, nights out and leisure. Most voters read it as masculine, though some call it classic or modern. Rochas Rochas Man and Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle have a close profile.
