What does Onyx Pearl smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Voters spread it almost evenly across the seasons, with spring and fall slightly ahead, and tie it to leisure, daily wear and the office. It sits between masculine and feminine, leaning a little masculine.

It starts with oriental blossoms, white leather and Arabian oud. The heart brings heliotrope, Indian amber and Indonesian patchouli, and the base settles into white musk, Virginia cedar and Australian sandalwood. The accords read fresh, floral, sweet and spicy, with woody, resinous, earthy and smoky tones around a leathery core.
