What does Dark smell like?

Longevity and projection are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it wears comfortably on either.

Cocoa opens it, cinnamon and hazelnut form the heart, and vanilla settles at the base. The sweet, gourmand side dominates, while spicy, resinous, earthy and smoky tones give that sweetness a dry footing.
