What does Black Python smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, and most voters score each of them high. The number of votes is small, so these judgements are still tentative. There aren't enough votes on season or occasion to say anything on that front.

The top is built on black pepper, cypress, mugwort and linalool, with woody notes in front, so the opening reads spicy and green. In the heart, orange blossom, lavender and balsam pull it towards a floral, powdery side. The base of patchouli, two kinds of vetiver and tonka bean leaves an earthy, resinous and slightly sweet trail, with a leathery tone among the accords. Penhaligon's Sartorial and Nicolaï Patchouli Sublime have a close profile.
