What does Black Oregano smell like?

Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so this is a tentative picture. There are no season or occasion votes, but the woody, smoky, leathery build suggests a dense scent suited to cooler weather. It reads as unisex.

It opens with cardamom, Peruvian lime and rosemary, green and spicy. In the heart, Australian sandalwood, Haitian vetiver and oregano lay down a woody, earthy footing. The base of leather, patchouli, oud and labdanum absolute leaves a resinous, smoky warmth. Olivier Durbano Black Tourmaline and Carner Drakon have a close profile.
