WoodyWhat does Goetze Gegenwart smell like?
Most voters pick it for daytime, business and leisure, with night out and evening far behind. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it leaves a gentle trail without filling the room. It is classed as a men's fragrance.
The opening of ginger, coriander, cardamom, tea and bergamot is fresh, citrusy and spicy. The heart of rose, lavender, basil, violet and nutmeg adds a floral, green softness. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, tonka bean and musk rests on a woody, creamy footing.
