What does Kouros Eau de Toilette Tonique 2011 smell like?

Lemon and bergamot bring a bright citrus start, and the marine notes in the heart add an aquatic coolness. The base is led by patchouli, frankincense and woody notes, giving the fresh character a green, spicy, smoky and leathery depth underneath.

It reads as a masculine scent. Most voters place it in leisure, daily and business wear, with evening and night-out use further behind. It suits those who want a cool, clean and easygoing trail.
