What does Black Crème smell like?

It opens with ambrette, spices, milk and iris, while candle wax gives the surface a creamy, powdery feel. In the heart, oud, myrrh and leather bring a resinous, leathery depth, and vanilla sweetens that edge. The base of sandalwood, amber, caramel and Georgywood® settles into a warm, woody finish.

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong, so it makes itself known in a room. The dense, sweet build suits it to cooler, heavier wear, and it reads as neither masculine nor feminine. Label Olive Wood & Leather and Zara Imperial Purple have a close profile.
