What does Armani Privé - Cuir Noir smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring further back and summer the least chosen. It is best liked for evenings and nights out. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, and masculine and feminine votes sit close together.

The top has coriander, rose, Australian sandalwood and nutmeg. The heart brings gaiac wood, leather and oud, and the base of Tahitian vanilla absolute and benzoin sets a sweet, resinous foundation. A spicy, woody structure meets an oriental warmth. Parfums MDCI Cuir Garamante and Montale Oud Edition have a close profile.
