What does Kinetic smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the small number of votes means this is only a rough guide. It is described as a men's fragrance.

The top opens with pimento leaf, amberwood and Italian mandarin orange, with the citrus coming through first. In the heart, nutmeg, everlasting flower and frankincense bring spice and resin. The base of teakwood, vanilla and sandalwood sweetens it and ties it to a soft woody finish, with a faintly synthetic edge among the accords. Hugo Boss Boss Man / Boss Orange Man (Eau de Toilette) and Zadig & Voltaire This Is Him! have a close profile.
