WoodyWhat does Live Jazz (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Grapefruit, mint and bitter lemon give it a crisp opening. In the heart, rhubarb leaf, reed and coriander bring a green, spicy touch. Vanilla, cedar and amber soften the scent toward a woody, slightly sweet base.
Most voters pick spring and summer, with daily and leisure wear leading. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters read it as masculine and modern. Hermès Concentré d'Orange Verte and Atkinsons Mint & Tonic have a close profile.
