What does Dark Matter smell like?

The top pairs black violet with ink; the heart of suede, charred wood, smoked tea and chestnut gives it a leathery, smoky body. In the base, vanilla and black raspberry bring sweetness, labdanum adds a resinous warmth, and ambroxan smooths the density. The overall impression is spicy, woody and dark, with the sweetness sitting behind the smoke.

There are too few votes to say anything about its longevity, sillage, season or occasion. Hiram Green Hyde and J.F. Schwarzlose Berlin Leder 6·9 have a close profile.
