What does Von Sierstorpff - The Scent of a Gentleman smell like?

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate. Spring and autumn lead slightly among the seasons, with summer and winter not far behind, and business, evening and daily wear draw almost equal votes. Most voters call it masculine, and some find it classic.

The citrus notes open fresh and green. In the heart, geranium, cardamom, Brazilian rosewood and eucalyptus add a floral, spicy turn. The smoky, woody side then takes over as vetiver, tobacco, frankincense, musk and sandalwood settle in.
