What does Nsfrtå smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, so it suits people who want a noticeable trail, though the small number of ratings means this impression is tentative. It wears as a heavy, dark scent that works on men and women alike.

The opening pairs the sharpness of absinth and black pepper with the smoke of birch wood. In the heart, black rose, patchouli and blood soften that edge and add an earthy depth. As it dries, vetiver, frankincense, ambergris and leather come forward, settling into a woody, resinous and spicy base. Montale Greyland and Zara WO/02 Wood Street have a close profile.
