Cologne Similar To McGRAW - Dupes & Clones

McGraw Dupes, Clones, Alternatives & Replacements

McGraw is the olfactory representation of an intimidating, domineering man. It is a mature fragrance that is suitable for the older demographic. It's fascinating how, based on the notes and the brand, one may assume a rich, spicy, woodsy smell that doesn't hold back. Instead, it's modern, endearing, and totally casual. It embodies non-sweet caramel accord and a fresh accord that truly makes the user think  flowers are in the formulation. It quickly transforms into a smooth woody scent after that, keeping just a faint hint of its freshness and sweetness.

• Top notes: Opens with Bergamot and Nutmeg
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Artemisia, Oakmoss, and Lavender
• Base notes: At the base, Patchouli, Tonka Bean, Sandalwood, Amber, and Whiskey
