LeatheryWhat does L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Noir Ambré smell like?
It opens with nutmeg, coriander, saffron and cinnamon leading the spice. In the heart, papyrus, leather, Atlas cedar and Haitian vetiver give it a dry, woody, leathery body. The base of tonka bean, amber and vanilla softens the spice and leaves a sweet, oriental warmth.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening and night out are the occasions named most often. It reads masculine and classic. Its profile is close to Lelas Amber and Lattafa Qaa'ed.
