What does Mesmerize Black for Men smell like?

The top notes of mint, lemon and pink pepper give a fresh, sharp start. In the heart, violet leaf, nutmeg and leather come forward; the base of tonka bean, cedarwood and sandalwood softens everything into a sweet, earthy woodiness. The accords read fruity, sweet and oriental, with a slightly synthetic edge.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. It is made as a men's fragrance. Afnan Perfumes Rare Carbon and Eight & Bob Egypt have a close profile.
