What does Powerful Black smell like?

Ginger opens with a lively, spicy lift. In the heart, maninka fruit brings a fruity sweetness while lavender adds a fresh, aromatic edge. Leather and tonka bean form the base, and the scent dries down woody, leathery and softly sweet. A synthetic facet also runs through the accords.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter close behind. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office, and reads masculine. Hugo Boss The Scent for Him and Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Men have a close profile.
