What does Chypre Noir smell like?

Bergamot and blood orange give the scent a bright citrus start, softened by the dry edge of black tea. Papua oud and myrrh add an earthy, resinous depth, chocolate sweetens it slightly, and mossy notes carry the chypre character. Mongolian musk gathers everything on a creamy base.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the small number of votes means these ratings are only a rough guide. The spicy, leathery side keeps it from leaning clearly masculine or feminine. Amouage Decision and Electimuss Trajan have a close profile.
