What does Y Collection smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters recommend spring and fall, and it is picked for leisure, evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as masculine, while some call it modern.

It opens fresh with bergamot and lavender, and the green notes and sage deepen that freshness. In the heart, clove and rose add a spicy, floral touch. As it dries, vetiver and patchouli lay a woody base, which tonka bean and musk soften into a sweet, powdery, creamy warmth. Prada Amber pour Homme and Mauboussin Homme have a close profile.
