What does Black Nectar smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong; most voters score them high, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a first impression. With no season or occasion votes to go on, it is best described as a dense, sweet perfume that makes itself noticed.

It opens with honey absolute and honeydew melon, sweet and fruity. In the heart, sage and linden blossom add a floral, powdery softness. The base of black tea, vanilla, pine tree cone and tolu balm dries down spicy and resinous. Roberto Cavalli Roberto Cavalli and Stendhal Ambre Sublime have a close profile.
