What does Black Russian smell like?
Coffee forms the backbone, with vodka and liqueur sweetening and softening it. The notes read as a single whole rather than a sequence of layers. Sweet and gourmand accords dominate, spicy and woody tones stay in the background, and the oriental and creamy sides add a warm smoothness. It has been discontinued. Demeter Fragrance Library White Russian and Zara Gourmand Coffee have a close profile.
