What does L'Homme Eau d'Été 2008 smell like?

Grapefruit and lavender set the tone, with basil adding a green edge and white pepper a faint spice. Violet brings a soft floral note, while patchouli and tonka bean give it a woody, slightly sweet base throughout.

Longevity and sillage sit in the moderate-to-weak range, so it stays close to the skin. Voters pick it most for leisure time and office days, with daytime wear also common. It is classed as masculine. Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Libre and Adidas Pure Game have a close profile.
