CreamyWhat does 9.0 smell like?
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen most often for evenings and nights out. Most see it as masculine, and some call it modern.
Bergamot, coriander and juniper open fresh with a slight edge. Pepper, cardamom and iris in the heart add spice and a powdery softness. Vetiver, cedarwood and amber dry down woody, sweet and creamy. Zara Night pour Homme III and Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle Le Parfum have a close profile.
