Signature pair: Cedar and Vetiver

Open its full wheel →

In plain words

The main accords of Friends Men are citrus and aromatic. It opens with Green Mandarin and Bergamot, reveals Petitgrain Paraguay and Pelargonium at its heart, and dries down to Tahitian Vetiver and Cedar. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in summer, mostly by day.
