What does Black Beard smell like?

It opens green and bright with basil, bergamot, orange and petitgrain. Geranium, Bulgarian lavender and rose form the heart and carry the fougère feel. In the base, leather, tobacco, patchouli and amber settle the scent into a woody, smoky, earthy finish.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall and spring, with leisure and evening wear leading. It reads masculine and classic. Francesco Smalto Francesco Smalto and Tristano Onofri Tristano by Onofri have a close profile.
