Spirit for Men
by Antonio Banderas
Spirit for Men by Antonio Banderas is a warm, spicy oriental fragrance with a gentle, sweet character that leans toward a refined, inoffensive wear. It opens with a soft citrus and cinnamon burst, rounded by amber, incense, and patchouli, creating a dry, smoky, and slightly resinous base that carries a subtle sweetness. The scent is smooth, well-blended, and evokes a well-creased velvet robe—confident, mature, and quietly alluring. Its most appealing trait is its versatility, suitable for both day and night wear, particularly during cooler months like autumn and winter. Despite its mild sillage and moderate longevity, the fragrance performs acceptably as a low-key, skin-scent that delivers comfort and elegance without overbearing projection.
