What does Dark smell like?

Apple adds a bright, green and fruity edge, and pink pepper brings a light spicy touch. Rose and orange blossom soften the mix, while amber and cedar set a woody, slightly sweet and powdery base. Aldehydes and metallic notes give the fresh air a synthetic sheen.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the settings named most often. Most voters read it as feminine, though it also has a modern character.
