What does Obscurus smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, with most voters scoring each of them high. It has no gender lean and suits those who like a heavy, dense scent. Zara LTH/01 Still L.E.A.T.H.E.R. and Tom Ford Tuscan Leather (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

It opens with blood orange, raspberry and cinnamon, a bright fruity and spicy start that black tea dries out. The heart brings jasmine tea, green tea, iris, tobacco and African rum together in a tea-and-tobacco blend. The base rests on Chinese oud, leather, patchouli and castoreum, a woody, animalic, smoky ground that musk and amber soften.
