CreamyWhat does Cedar Root Black smell like?
The notes read as one blend: jasmine, leather and gin, with black pepper adding a spicy bite, almond a sweet, creamy softness and ink a dry, synthetic note. Fresh and green tones keep the floral side lively, while woody and chypre touches balance the leathery character.
It suits men and women alike. Its profile is close to Victorinox Black Steel and Prada Paradigme Le Parfum.
