Ann Gottlieb

"Axe Instinct is a masculine Eau de Toilette introduced in 2008. Its character centers on a restrained leather accord supported by black pepper and pink pepper. The result is mildly spicy, woody, earthy, and subtly sweet rather than intensely aggressive. The leather impression has been described as calm, smooth, and slightly tarry. Instinct has a straightforward, uncomplicated structure typical of accessible masculine fragrances. It is best suited to casual wear and situations where a moderate, understated scent is preferred."
