What does Black Beetle (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Both its longevity and sillage are rated good, with more voters giving longevity a high mark. The vote count is small, so this is only a rough guide. There are no season or occasion votes, so nothing can be said about when it suits best. It reads as neither strictly masculine nor feminine.

It opens with raspberry, frankincense and bergamot, a fresh and lightly sweet start. The heart brings nutmeg, chili, patchouli and musk, adding a spicy, earthy side, and woods form a smoky, woody base. Oriental and sweet tones soften the whole. The Nose Behind Hakama and Molinard Musc share a close profile.
