What does Grafton (Cologne) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters spread it almost evenly across spring, fall and summer, with winter chosen less often. Business, leisure and daily wear lead the occasions, and most voters find it masculine and classic.

The top notes of basil, aniseed, lavender and bergamot give a fresh, citrusy start. In the heart, carnation, cinnamon and geranium carry the spice and greenery forward. The base of sandalwood, amber, leather and tonka bean dries down woody and warm. Guy Laroche Drakkar Noir and Yves Saint Laurent Jazz have a close profile.
