What does Dark Imagination smell like?

The top opens with black plum, Damask rose and saffron, and the heart carries on with Moroccan rose, leather and birch tar. The base holds vetiver, patchouli, cedarwood, smoke and amber. Gourmand and creamy accords soften the rose and leave a powdery sweetness, while the woody, smoky side takes over as it dries down.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. Its dense character suits anyone, man or woman, who wants a fragrance with presence. It shares a close profile with Zara Red Temptation Winter and Tom Ford Ombré Leather (Eau de Parfum).
