What does Black Sheep smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and it is also chosen for nights out. It reads slightly more masculine than feminine, though many voters see it as feminine too.

Copal resin and cistus build the resinous, earthy core. Costus adds an animalic, leathery weight, and white pepper brings spice. Barley and clover carry the green and floral side and soften the edges.
