What does Scuro smell like?

Bergamot and grapefruit keep the opening citrusy and fresh, while black pepper and elemi resin add a sharp, spicy edge. Cardamom and Sichuan pepper carry the spice into the heart, with jasmine softening it slightly. The base turns warm and sweet with amber, vanilla and cashmere wood, and gaiac wood and musk leave a smoky, woody finish.

Most voters place Scuro in autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. Evenings, nights out and leisure time are the main occasions. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters read it as somewhat masculine, though it works as a unisex scent.
