What does Black Changho (Pure Parfum) smell like?

The two ouds, patchouli and sandalwood read together. Spice, resin and leather sit over a woody, earthy, smoky base, while a green thread lightens the weight a little. The oriental character is dark and dense rather than harsh.

Longevity is very strong and sillage is strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and leisure wear leading. It leans masculine in perception but is classed as unisex. Ensar Oud Black Changho Attar and Ensar Oud EO Black have a close profile.
