What does UDV Black for Men (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Grapefruit, green apple and bergamot come first, with citrus and green accords giving it a crisp start. White blossoms and geranium soften the middle, and the base settles into woody, slightly spicy oakmoss and cedarwood. A light sweetness and fruitiness runs through the whole scent.

Both longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin and keeps a quiet presence. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Its character reads masculine and modern. Coach Coach Green and Parfums de Marly Greenley have a close profile.
