Scent Profile (Based on common interpretation as Boss Orange Man):

• Top Notes:

  Red Apple, Coriander

  The opening is a pleasant blend of fresh, crisp fruitiness from the red apple, immediately giving a lively and inviting feel. Coriander adds a subtle, herbaceous, and slightly spicy warmth, setting a dynamic and approachable tone.

• Heart Notes:

  Incense, Sichuan Pepper

  As the fragrance develops, the heart introduces a distinctive warmth and spice. Incense provides a dry, smoky, and slightly mystical aroma, contributing to depth and character. Sichuan pepper adds a unique, tingling, and sharp spiciness, creating an invigorating and engaging core.

• Base Notes:

  Vanilla, Woodsy Notes (e.g., Bubinga Wood)

  The dry-down is comforting, warm, and subtly masculine. Vanilla offers a creamy, sweet, and comforting richness. “Woodsy Notes,” often inspired by specific woods like African Bubinga wood in the original, provide a robust, earthy, and clean woody foundation that lingers elegantly on the skin.

Performance:

• Longevity: Moderate (typically 4-6 hours, though individual skin chemistry can vary).
• Sillage: Moderate (creates a noticeable but not overwhelming scent bubble).
