What does Mandate (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Mandate's longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters wear it in autumn and spring, though summer has a fair share too. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office, and less towards evenings or nights out. Most voters read it as masculine, with a good number calling it classic.

The top opens clean and bright with rosemary, rosewood, bergamot, lavender and clary sage. In the heart, geranium, clove, cinnamon and pine deepen the spice and the green. The base of tonka bean, amber, cedar, oakmoss and musk dries down woody, resinous, earthy and slightly leathery.
