What does Chairman smell like?

It opens fresh and fruity with basil, bergamot and candied apple. The heart of jasmine, lavender, leather and cinnamon adds a floral and spicy turn. The base of patchouli, amber, vanilla and cedarwood settles it onto a sweet, woody, powdery ground, with leathery and gourmand shades alongside.

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, then spring, and summer rarely. It is worn across a wide range, from daily use and business settings to evenings out. Dior Dior Homme (2005) and Parfums de Marly Pegasus have a close profile.
