United Dreams Men Aim High

United Dreams Men Aim High is a fresh citrus scent for men from Benetton, released in 2015. Citrus is the accord everyone names; most also find it woody and aromatic, and a minority pick out spicy, green or floral notes.

The start is sharp and clean: lemon, bitter orange and grapefruit together, with the bitterness of the orange keeping it from tasting like a sweet drink. The heart turns herbal and cool, with mint and sage lending a green, slightly medicinal freshness, geranium adding a rosy-green note and nutmeg a warm, dry spice. The base settles into vetiver and moss for an earthy, mossy dryness, with patchouli adding depth and amber a thin layer of warmth.

It is an everyday, daytime fragrance, well suited to work, sport and warm weather, and its character is tidy rather than loud. Men who like the classic citrus-and-herbs structure of a traditional cologne, finished with a little more wood, should find it comfortable to wear.
