What does Black (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters wear it in summer and spring, for daily use, sport and leisure.

Watermelon, pear, mandarin orange and bergamot open fresh, citrusy and lightly sweet. Freesia and cardamom add a little spice in the heart, while musk, cedarwood and patchouli settle it onto a woody base. Aquatic and synthetic tones keep the overall feel cool.
