What does Lampblack smell like?

The citrus reads fresh and fruity, with a green, spicy thread running through it. Ink and vetiver give it a smoky, woody base, which benzoin and nagarmotha soften with a resinous warmth.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters point to fall and spring, with summer not far behind, and it leans towards leisure, daily and business wear. In the character votes, the masculine side outweighs the others. Amouage Search and Hermès Terre d'Hermès (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
