Skunky's take: Like opening a window: the room feels lighter at once.

SpicyWhat does L'Homme Le Parfum smell like?
Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind, while winter is the least chosen season. Leisure, daily and business wear lead the occasions. Longevity and sillage are moderate, and it reads as masculine and modern.
It opens with primofiore lemon, ozone and cardamom, a bright and slightly spicy start. In the heart, violet leaf, basil and geranium add a floral, green layer. The base of ambroxan, cedarwood, cashmere wood and vetiver leaves a clean, woody finish. Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Ultime and Diesel Only the Brave (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
