What does Baldessarini Black smell like?

The opening is green and cool, with basil and the ice accord, while pink pepper adds spice. In the heart, myrrh, geranium and patchouli turn it earthy, resinous and slightly smoky. Tonka bean sweetens the base, and labdanum and suede leave a woody, leathery warmth.

Most voters find it masculine, and some call it both classic and modern. Longevity and sillage are moderate. It leans towards fall and winter, and works in spring too. It suits daily wear, leisure time and evenings out.
