Eau de Parfum

Lalique pour Homme Equus Eau de Parfum is a green, woody men's fragrance that opens with cardamom, juniper berry and citrus zest. The opening is a spicy freshness from cardamom and juniper berry, brightened by citrus zest. In the heart, sequoia wood, mace and violet leaf turn it dry and green. Siam benzoin, vetiver and amyris dominate the base, leaving a resinous, earthy warmth. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards business and leisure wear during the day. It reads masculine and classic. Ormonde Jayne Ormonde Man and Roberto Ugolini Oxford have a close profile.

Nautica · 2016

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Nautica Voyage Sport is a fresh, aquatic and lightly sweet men's fragrance built around sea air and citrus. Spindrift, sea salt, citrus zest and coriander give it a cool opening. In the heart, green pepper, palm leaf, geranium and apple add a green, fruity softness. Musk, redwood, vetiver and patchouli ground it in a woody base, while the spicy and sweet tones stay in the background. Longevity and sillage are moderate, though the small number of ratings makes these figures tentative. It is made for men, and its light, fresh build suits easy everyday wear. Joop! Joop! Jump and Dolce & Gabbana K share a close profile.

Blue Cedar and Cypress (Eau de Toilette)

Cremo

Fresh · Citrus · Spicy

Eau de Toilette

Cremo Blue Cedar and Cypress Eau de Toilette is a fresh, citrusy scent for men, with a clean woody and spicy character. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though with few votes, so these figures are tentative. Voters rate it well for value. No season or occasion votes exist, so nothing can be said there. The notes have no top, heart or base split, so it reads as one piece. Citrus zest gives a bright, slightly bitter lift, while cypress and blue atlas cedar set it on a dry, woody footing. The spicy accord sharpens the wood a little.

Zara

Citrus · Fruity · Sweet

Zara 11.0 is a spicy, woody men's fragrance that carries citrus and fruit freshness into the sweetness of vanilla and amber. The notes read as a single whole: apple and citrus zest give a bright fruity side, while pink pepper and spices sharpen it slightly. Vanilla, amber and musk add a creamy, gourmand sweetness, and cedarwood and patchouli set a woody base underneath. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Voters choose it most for leisure and daytime wear, and it also finds a place on nights out and in the office. It is an easy, not-too-heavy masculine scent.
