What does His Love Story (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though with few votes that picture is tentative. With no season or occasion votes, nothing firm can be said about when to wear it, but its fresh, citrusy build suits an easy, light everyday scent.

It opens with black pepper, nutmeg, cardamom and pink grapefruit, spice and citrus arriving together. Towards the heart, Brazilian mint, geranium, violet leaf and lavender add a green, lightly floral freshness. In the base, vetiver, patchouli and sandalwood dry the scent down to a woody, creamy softness.
