What does Sailors smell like?
Its notes read as a single whole rather than a top-to-base progression: mandarin orange, lemon and grapefruit give a bright citrus feel, while kelp and violet leaf run between water and green. Clove and cinnamon leaf add a spicy warmth, and Indian sandalwood and Ambrox lay down a woody, distinctly synthetic-feeling foundation.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. It suits men and women alike. For a close profile, Jaguar Pace and Nautica Life are worth a look.
