SpicyWhat does Very Cool for Men smell like?
The opening is a bright citrus of mandarin orange and bergamot, sharpened slightly by ginger. In the heart, bell pepper and nutmeg add a green, spicy touch, and vetiver leaves a woody base. The accords lean fresh, aquatic and green, with floral and fruity tones staying in the background.
Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin and wears light. It is aimed at men, with a casual, cool feel. Perfumes with a close profile include Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Yuzu and Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme (Eau de Toilette).
