What does Bass smell like?

Wood smoke and rum come first. Mastic, leather and tea sit in the middle, and frankincense, moss, cedarwood and castoreum dry down at the base. The synthetic, spicy and animalic accords weigh heavily, so it reads dry and dark rather than soft or sweet.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close to the skin while still making itself known to people nearby. It suits anyone who likes leather and smoke, regardless of gender. Rammstein Benzin and Tom Ford Black Lacquer have a close profile.
