What does Kobe smell like?

Orange, Florida bergamot and Spanish labdanum lead the top, while orange blossom, neroli and Paraguayan petigrain give the heart a green, floral freshness. In the base, musk, tonka bean, amber and Brazilian rosewood sweeten the scent and dry it down woody and resinous.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it suits leisure and daily wear, with business use close behind. Most voters read it as masculine, though many call it classic. Thameen Patiala and Penhaligon's Castile have a close profile.
