What does Seduction in Black (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens with bergamot and blackcurrant, citrusy and lightly sweet. In the heart, coriander, cardamom and nutmeg turn it spicy. The base of musk, cedar, tonka bean and amber settles into a woody, powdery and sweet finish.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with fewer choosing summer and winter. Votes are spread almost evenly across leisure, evening, daily wear, nights out and business. Otto Kern Signature Man and Burberry Brit for Him have a close profile.
