About

Reporter for Men opens with a sparkling citrus explosion of bergamot, grapefruit, and kumquat, brightened by a hint of spicy nutmeg. This freshness transitions into a clean heart of jasmine and lemon tree, with a warm cardamom undercurrent. The dry down settles into a classic masculine base of musky woods, amber, and a touch of sweet tonka bean, leaving a clean, almost barbershop-like trail.
