What does 06 Black Platinum smell like?

Lemon and pink pepper keep the first impression bright, while jasmine and orange blossom add a soft floral side and prickly pear brings a light fruity touch. Leather, patchouli, oakmoss and amber give the scent a woody, powdery and slightly animalic depth.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it neither dominates a room nor fades quickly. Most voters pick spring, followed by autumn and summer, and it is worn mostly for daily use, leisure and the office. Few choose it for evenings.
