What does Dark Side smell like?

Tonka bean, labdanum and vanilla soften that core. Sweetness leads, but spicy, woody and earthy tones weigh it down, and a smoky, leathery edge joins an animal warmth. The notes read as one whole rather than in layers.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick it for evenings and nights out, with leisure wear a distant third. The mood is dark and warm, suiting men and women alike. For a similar profile, The Dua Brand Crater and Labdanum Symphony sit close.
