What does Black Dust smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters recommend autumn and winter, and summer is rarely picked. It is mostly seen as an evening or night-out scent, though it can also be worn at leisure. Voters tend to call it masculine, and many also find it modern.

Bergamot, red pepper and cardamom open it with a bright, spicy start. In the heart, fig and iris bring a fruity, powdery sweetness while oud adds a smoky depth. The base of frankincense, sandalwood, patchouli and tonka bean leaves a resinous, woody and soft trail. Juliette Has A Gun Another Oud and Erik Kormann Eau de Froehliche have a close profile.
