What does Performance Intense Black smell like?
Passion fruit and grapefruit give the opening a fruity freshness, while black pepper and ginger sharpen it with spice. In the heart, mint, cashmere and spicy notes come forward; the base of precious woods, leather, amber and white musk settles it on a woody, slightly sweet footing. A synthetic edge shows in the accords as well.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters pick it most for leisure and daily wear, with night out and business not far behind. Its value for money is rated highly. It shares a close profile with Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Men and Mancera Aoud Lemon Mint.
