What does Love at your Darkest smell like?

The scent is built around frankincense, black pepper and cedarwood. A fresh, spicy tone comes forward, the woody and smoky side fills in beneath it, and oriental and powdery accords soften the edges.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Voters pick it most often for leisure, with daily wear and business close behind and night out and evening trailing. It reads comfortably on anyone, without leaning masculine or feminine. Dunhill Custom and Balenciaga Incense Perfumum have a close profile.
