About This Perfume

Think clean citrus tea, cedar woods, soft musk: that is Liz Claiborne Realities for Men. It opens with ginger, lemon and tea, moves into patchouli, cedar and cyclamen and settles on musk, sandalwood and moss. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.

This cologne is best in spring, summer and fall and is easy to wear day or night. It suits casual days and the office. Released in 2004.

Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: anyone after something woody and grounded for casual days.
  • Sample first if: woody is new territory for you.
  • Skip if: you dislike citrus fragrances.

Around $48.
