What does Cadillac Black smell like?

It opens light and fresh with bergamot zest, mint and chamomile. In the heart, tonka bean and cinnamon turn it sweet and warm, while orange blossom adds a soft floral touch. The base of cedar, vetiver and frankincense sets a woody, smoky floor underneath. The overall impression is gourmand and oriental, with powdery and leathery shades staying in the background.

Van Cleef & Arpels Midnight in Paris and M. Micallef Vanille Cuir have a close profile.
