What does Black Tie for Men smell like?
It opens with Italian lemon, American orange and Brazilian mandarin orange, a fruity, sweet citrus layer. Paraguayan gaiac wood brings the woody, smoky side in the heart, and vetiver, cardamom and patchouli settle it onto a spicy, earthy base.
Both longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and lean towards evening and night-out wear. Voters mostly see it as masculine and classic. Montblanc Explorer Extreme and Zara Vibrant Leather (2018) have a close profile.
