What does Hombre smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters recommend spring, fall and summer, with winter a smaller group. It leans towards daily and office wear, and also gets votes for evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as masculine.

The top has cardamom, citrus zest and citrus leaf, and the fresh, citrus and aquatic accords stand out. Woody and floral notes sit in the heart, with a fruity, sweet softness around them. In the base, Indonesian patchouli, moss and oriental notes carry it to an earthy finish.
