What does For Men / For Gentlemen smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter and summer less favoured. Daily wear and business settings lead, while evening and night out come well behind. It is classed as a men's fragrance.

It opens with bergamot, orange and lemon in a bright citrus layer, warmed by clove and nutmeg. Herbs carry the green note through the heart. In the base, patchouli and oakmoss settle it into an earthy, woody and slightly leathery finish.
