What does Onyx (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The notes read as a single whole rather than in stages: sandalwood and oud lay a woody base, while Bulgarian rose and lily add a soft floral side. Vanilla and walnut pull it towards a creamy, gourmand sweetness, and ambergris keeps the oriental character warm.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong, with the large majority of voters scoring both highly. Rich and spicy, it suits men and women alike. Arabian Oud Resala and Creed Vanisia have a close profile.
