The top holds pink pepper, cedar and white amber, while the heart brings jasmine sambac, ambroxan and balsam. The base dries down to patchouli, vetiver, musk and labdanum. Sweetness leads over a synthetic, earthy backdrop, and the leathery side stays in the background.
Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so expect a quiet scent that stays close to the skin. The number of votes is small, so this reading is tentative. Giorgio Armani Armani Privé - Sable Nuit and Cerruti 1881 Signature have a close profile.
