Power of Seduction

Power of Seduction is a green, sweet fougère for men from Antonio Banderas, released in 2018. Green is the accord everyone names; most also find it gourmand and woody, and a minority describe it as aromatic, ambery or citrusy.

Apple and bergamot open it with a crisp, juicy freshness, and artemisia adds a bitter, herbal greenness that gives the start some bite. The heart is classically aromatic, with lavender and clary sage bringing a clean, slightly hay-like herbal note. The base is where the sweetness comes in: tonka bean gives a warm, almond-and-vanilla smoothness, amber a soft glow, and patchouli, moss and oakmoss an earthy, forest-floor depth that keeps the tonka from becoming cloying.

It is a versatile everyday scent that works in daytime and for an evening out, and suits spring and autumn best. Men who like the green-apple-and-lavender style with a sweet, mossy finish will find it easy to wear and unlikely to offend.
