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

Lemon vervain, bergamot and lemon give it a bright start. In the heart, coriander, thyme and cardamom add a dry, spicy edge. Vetiver, cedar, patchouli and amber dominate the base, with orange softening that earthy, dry finish.

Longevity and sillage are rated as good, though the votes are few. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring behind them and summer chosen by very few. Evenings, leisure time and nights out lead, while daily and office wear are also possible. Dior Fahrenheit and Puig Quorum have a close profile.
