What does Onyx Extreme smell like?
Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as very strong, and most pick fall and winter, for evenings and nights out. The largest share of voters reads it as masculine, though it stays open to anyone.
It opens with rose absolute, while ylang-ylang, plum, raspberry, chocolate and vanilla absolute form a sweet, fruity heart. The base of musk, amber, sandalwood, oakmoss, Thai oud and ambergris carries it into a woody, oriental warmth. Aaron Terence Hughes Onyx and Memo Paris Odéon have a close profile.
