What does Rhinoceros (2014) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening, leisure and night out the favoured occasions, while daily and business wear lag behind. Most voters read it as masculine, with a classic bearing as well.

It opens with bergamot, sage and lavender over coniferous woods, then pine, oud and tobacco take over in the heart. The base settles into vetiver, leather, smoke and amber. The overall feel is woody, earthy and spicy, with animal and resinous touches. Caron Yatagan and Amouage Epic Man have a close profile.
