What does Black Sheep smell like?

Vanilla absolute carries the sweetness, while styrax and cedarwood pull it toward a resinous, woody line. Birch adds a smoky edge, and castoreum gives the whole a heavy, animalic, leathery weight. The spicy accord keeps the sweetness from turning too soft.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Of those who voted on its character, more call it masculine than feminine, though it sits comfortably as a unisex fragrance. Modern and classic both get a few votes too. Meleg Perfumes No 25: Birch Tar and Russian Leather and Le Labo Patchouli 24 have a close profile.
