What does Black Sumatra Rain smell like?

The notes read as one whole: Indonesian, Thai, Cambodian and white oud, together with Indian and Sumatran vetiver, build a woody, earthy backbone. Crete labdanum, Siam benzoin and Omani frankincense add a resinous warmth, while Bourbon vanilla softens the edges a little. Cannabis brings a green touch, and Siberian castoreum adds an animal, leathery shade.

Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good. Evening and night out lead the votes, leisure follows, and daytime and office wear get very few. It suits anyone, regardless of gender, who wants something dense and dark. Its profile is close to Ensar Oud EO Black and Prin Loup.
