What does Notes from Underground (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, and most voters score the longevity high. It has been discontinued. It sits comfortably on men and women alike, and it is a heavy, full-bodied wear.

The weight comes from a woody, smoky, leathery line led by Vietnamese oud and tobacco, rounded off by beeswax and Tonkin musk. Tuberose, narcissus and blue lotus give the floral side, while pink pepper and rosemary add a light touch of spice and green. Bourbon vanilla keeps the sweetness in check, and earthy and animal accords deepen the dark mood.
