What does Swiss Army Classic smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it neither dominates a room nor disappears. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the occasions named most often. Voters mostly call it masculine, with classic and modern votes close to each other.

The top opens with yuzu, bergamot, ginger and mint for a cool start. In the heart, lavender, rosemary and geranium add a green, floral touch. The base settles on musk, cedarwood and amber for a woody footing, while aquatic and spicy shades stay behind the fresh line. Davidoff Cool Water (Eau de Toilette) and Ralph Lauren Polo Sport (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
