What does Extrait Noir smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening and night out lead the occasions. About half of voters read it as masculine.

The top notes of thyme, camphor, eucalyptus and ginger give a cool, medicinal green opening. In the heart, cinnamon, saffron, lavender and patchouli add a spicy, earthy warmth. The base of castoreum, vanilla and benzoin settles it into a resinous, leathery, slightly sweet finish.
