What does Colonia Ebano smell like?

Bergamot and petitgrain give it a fresh citrus opening. In the heart, elemi resin, ebony and pink pepper add a spicy, resinous depth. Vetiver and patchouli bring an earthy weight to the base, while honey sweetens it and gives it a creamy softness.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, with summer far behind. Most see it as masculine and classic. Dior Dior Homme (2020) and Profumum Roma Luce have a close profile.
