By the editors · 2 min readThe 1992 What About Adam shares its skeleton with the later EDT but stretches every layer wider. The opening is louder — mint, tomato leaf, lemon, grapefruit — a bracing, almost salad-green burst before the heart calms it. Sandalwood, lavender, and cedar form the middle, woodier than the EDT version and slightly more austere.
The base settles into the same fougère-chypre code: oakmoss, vetiver, labdanum, and vanilla, the moss carrying most of the structural weight. It wears as a cool, slightly aloof masculine of the early nineties — herbal-green up top, dry-mossy underneath, with little gourmand interest.
