Contemporary

Contemporary by the Italian brand Police is a men's fragrance in the classic aromatic style: everyone who describes it calls it floral and aromatic, about two thirds find it green, woody and citrusy, and a third musky.

Grapefruit and bergamot give a bright, slightly bitter opening, with mint and juniper adding a cool, gin-like crispness. The heart is herbal and floral: lavender, rosemary and clary sage bring a clean, barbershop freshness, while geranium, jasmine and violet add a green, slightly powdery floral touch. The base is oakmoss, cedar and sandalwood for a dry, mossy woodiness, with tonka bean and musk softening the finish.

This is a versatile daytime scent for spring and autumn, suited to the office and casual wear. It should suit men who like traditional fougère-style fragrances with a mossy, herbal character.
