What does Arabian Nights (Black) smell like?
It opens with green apple and bergamot, a bright, fruity start. In the heart, vanilla and jasmine bring a floral sweetness. The base carries amber, clove and cinnamon for spiced warmth, while patchouli and musk settle it onto a soft, earthy footing.
Voters rate its longevity as very strong and its sillage as strong, so it stays on skin for a long time and projects noticeably. The number of votes is small, so these impressions are tentative. It reads as a rich, sweet scent that suits both men and women.
