What does Baudelaire smell like?

It opens with black pepper, caraway and juniper berry, giving a dry, sharp spice. In the heart, leather, frankincense and hyacinth turn it smoky and resinous. The base of papyrus, black amber and patchouli leaves an earthy, oriental trail.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Most voters find it masculine. Nishane Pachulí Kozha and Byredo 1996 - Inez & Vinoodh (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
