What does Black Fume smell like?

It opens with raspberry, sweet and fruity. In the heart, charred wood and orris root take over and the scent turns woody and smoky. The base of ambroxan, oud, tobacco and labdanum leaves a spicy, leathery and slightly synthetic trail.

Voters find the longevity very strong and the sillage strong, though the number of votes is small, so these impressions should be read with caution. Its dense, assertive character suits anyone after a bold scent, whether masculine or feminine. Guerlain Tabac Sahara and Montale Oud Sapparot have a close profile.
