What does Kuroi smell like?

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate. Spring and fall are the seasons most often picked, with winter close behind and summer well back. Leisure, night out and business draw similar numbers of votes, so it reads as wearable from daytime into the evening.

The top opens with citrus fruits and pepper, fresh with a slight bite. Maté sits in the heart, and ambergris with woody notes in the base softens it into an earthy, lightly sweet finish. Floral and fruity touches round out the accords.
