What does Black Edition smell like?

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good, and most of those who voted score each highly, though the number of votes is small. There are no season or occasion votes, so nothing can be said about those.

It opens with lemon, juniper berry and bergamot. Cardamom, cocoa and nutmeg then move the heart toward a spicy, creamy sweetness. In the base, vetiver, cedarwood, patchouli and tonka bean give it a woody, earthy footing. Aaron Terence Hughes Maverick and Oriflame Be the Legend have a close profile.
