What does Dark Matter smell like?

It opens on clove, saffron, cardamom and ginger, with bergamot and blackcurrant softening the spice. The heart turns floral and sweet with honey, date, Taif rose and jasmine sambac. The base dries down on oud, labdanum, vanilla and patchouli, while animal and leathery tones stay in the background throughout.

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening, night out and leisure lead the occasions. It reads more masculine than feminine. Prin Arsalan and Nishane Mana have a close profile.
