ResinousWhat does Blacker Sails smell like?
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, so it sits closer to the skin than it projects. It is unisex and reads equally well on men and women.
The top opens fresh, citrusy and lightly spicy with gin, lemon, angelica root and cardamom. In the heart, seawater, oak barrel and cedar join the aquatic and woody sides. The base of black musk, black frankincense and amber adds a resinous depth.
