What does Black Tear smell like?

It opens with blackcurrant absolute, lemon and green apple for a citrusy brightness, with black pepper adding a slight edge. At the heart, jasmine, honey and tuberose build a floral sweetness, and apricot softens it in a fruity direction. The base of tobacco absolute, vanilla and vetiver settles into a creamy, powdery, smoky warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, and night out and evening are the favored occasions. It is voted feminine more than anything else, with masculine and classic close behind. Roja Dove Haute Parfumerie and Ramón Monegal Siesta have a close profile.
