What does Series 6: Synthetic - Tar smell like?

Fuel and cigarette draw the raw, industrial side of the scent, while bergamot lightens that hardness slightly. Among the accords, the synthetic and spicy sides lead, with woody and resinous tones behind them. Leathery and earthy textures give it a dry, smoky feel.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is worn mostly for leisure. It reads closer to masculine, though it is unisex. Chiseled Face Midnight Stag and Strangers Parfumerie Fume Ma Peau have a close profile.
