What does In Black (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Pepper and grapefruit give a sharp, bright start, with neroli softening it. In the heart, balsam fir, suede and geranium come forward. The base carries tonka bean and benzoin into a creamy, gourmand sweetness, while vetiver and cedar set an earthy, woody ground underneath.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Voters pick it most for daytime wear and the office, with some choosing it for evenings. It reads as a men's fragrance. Marie Jeanne Vétiver Santal and Mazzolari Herion have a close profile.
