What does Black Suede Intense smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick evening, followed by leisure and daily wear, while office and night out trail behind. It reads as a masculine scent.

It opens with black pepper, French clary sage and frankincense, spicy and resinous. In the heart, violet leaf and suede add an earthy softness. The base of ambergris, tonka bean and cistus sweetens it, with the oriental and woody side taking over.
