What does Black Amsterdam smell like?

The fresh, citrusy top turns fruity with pineapple. In the heart, Moroccan jasmine, rose, patchouli and birch lead, with the birch pulling the scent in a smoky direction. The base holds musk, oakmoss, ambergris and vanilla, and a synthetic edge runs through to the end.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Spring and summer get the most votes, and daily wear, leisure and business are the top occasions. It reads as masculine and modern. Reyane Tradition Insurrection II Pure and Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
