What does Blend No. 83 smell like?

The notes are benzoin, dark chocolate, Arabica coffee, musk and rum, and the scent reads as a whole rather than in stages. Chocolate and coffee set the sweet, gourmand tone, rum and benzoin add a resinous warmth, and musk softens it all. Woody and smoky accords stay in the background, with a synthetic edge. It has been discontinued.

Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good, though few votes have been cast, so treat that as a rough guide. Its sweet, dense character suits cooler weather and evenings. It is unisex, with no clear lean either way. Byredo Havana Tonka and Alkemia Caffaeum have a close profile.
