What does Ink smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It is worn mostly in the evening and on nights out. It reads more masculine than feminine, though it is classed as unisex.

Birch tar and ink lead the top, giving a synthetic, smoky start. Jasmine sits in the heart and vetiver anchors the base. Spicy, woody and creamy accords blend with a leathery edge. Comme des Garçons Black and Elyon Himeros have a close profile.
