Creed Aventus Cologne

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on mandarin orange, ginger and pink pepper, moves through vetiver, patchouli and sandalwood, and settles on musk, birch and tonka bean.

• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon
• ginger: sharp and fresh with a peppery bite, closer to the raw root than to gingerbread

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
