Embrayage Eau De Toilette

The AP is reporting that.......

Avon Products Inc. has signed the New York Yankees shortstop to a deal in which it will create a men's fragrance called Driven -- "reflecting the unique personality of one of the most driven men in America," according to a news release from the company.

The fragrance, the first in a line of men's grooming products bearing Jeter's name, goes on sale in November.

The report shares that "The fragrance is a blend of chilled grapefruit, clean oak moss and spice."

A mix of cold citrus fruit, unadulterated fungus and aromatic flora, huh?

Oh, Derek, you had us at "hello."

I saw this article too, but unlike LoHud's report of it I didn't find the ingredient list in the original article. AP is a pretty dense place to try to find some things.

Here's the only link I could find, no ingredient list.

Hey, you've struck on my one area of expertise: biology. Oakmoss is not a fungus, it is a lichen, a symbiotic organism consisting of an algae and a fungus. Which also means it is anything but unadulterated.
