What does Oscent Black smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is worn for evenings and nights out as well as leisure. It reads mostly masculine, with a classic edge.

It opens with ginger and aniseed, then turns woody and smoky through tobacco, frankincense, patchouli and cedarwood. Vanilla, labdanum and musk soften the base and add sweetness. Xerjoff Groove Xcape and Penhaligon's The Blazing Mister Sam have a close profile.
