What does Black Widow smell like?

It opens with currant and bergamot adding a fruity brightness, while truffle brings an earthy weight. In the heart, cedar, orchid and ylang-ylang set a floral and woody backdrop. The base turns sweet with dark chocolate and vanilla, and vetiver and patchouli keep it dry and earthy.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and few choose summer. More voters read it as feminine than masculine, though it can be worn by anyone. Tom Ford Black Orchid and Xerjoff 400 have a close profile.
