What does Black Friday smell like?

The top notes pair apple with cinnamon and saffron, so a fruity sweetness meets a spicy warmth. In the heart, leather and rose balance the floral and leathery sides. The base of moss, patchouli, papyrus and musk sets it on an earthy, woody, lightly smoky ground.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. It reads masculine. Xerjoff Deified Tony Iommi and Perris Monte Carlo Bois d'Oud have a close profile.
