WoodyWhat does L'Homme (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall close behind. Daily, leisure and business wear lead, while evening and night out sit further back. Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Nearly half of voters call it masculine, and modern and classic are also common picks.
It opens with lemon, bergamot and ginger for a bright start. The heart brings spices, basil, violet and white pepper, with the violet adding a soft floral, slightly fruity touch. In the base, tonka bean sweetens things while vetiver and cedarwood build a woody foundation. Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Cologne Gingembre and Chanel Allure Homme Eau de Toilette have a close profile.
