What does Bullion (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it suits evenings and nights out best, though it also gets votes for spring days. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads as open to both.

The opening pairs black plum with pink pepper, so the fruity sweetness is cut with a little spice. In the heart, magnolia and osmanthus add a floral layer while leather comes forward. The base of musk, dark woods and sandalwood settles into a warm, woody finish.
