What does 1 and Only smell like?

Grapefruit and coriander give it a bright, fruity freshness, while cardamom, ginger and basil carry the spice and orange blossom adds a soft floral touch. Amber and tobacco sweeten it towards an oriental warmth, with cedarwood as a woody base.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. It works in all four seasons, with winter and fall slightly ahead. Evenings and nights out suit it, as do leisure time, daily wear and the office. Most voters find it masculine and modern.
