"Life Essence for Men is a fresh, aromatic woody fragrance with a bright citrus opening. Lemon, bergamot, mandarin orange, coriander, and cardamom create a lively introduction with both cool and warm spicy nuances. The heart develops into a green, slightly floral blend of cypress, West Indian bay, geranium, and jasmine. Sandalwood, oakmoss, and cedar give the drydown a dry, earthy, and polished character. Its overall style is nostalgic, masculine, and naturally elegant rather than sweet or overtly dense. The fragrance is particularly suited to daytime wear and mild-to-warm conditions."
