Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
People close to you notice, nobody gets overwhelmed.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

SmokyWhat does Body Paint smell like?
It opens with pear juice, lemon and green pepper, while red chili adds a sharp edge to that fruity freshness. Clove and nutmeg carry the spice through the heart, and oakmoss, cedar and ambroxan settle the scent onto a woody, slightly synthetic base.
Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good; the sample is small, but most votes on longevity fall on the high side. Its fresh, spicy build reads as masculine and feminine alike. Giorgio Armani Eau pour Homme (2013) and Creed Spice and Wood have a close profile.
