What does In Black smell like?
Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, followed by winter, and evening and night out are the most chosen occasions. Nearly half of voters read it as feminine.
It opens with black cherry, rose and pink grapefruit. In the heart, Egyptian jasmine, black lily, violet and peach wine build a floral, fruity sweetness. In the base, Indonesian patchouli, Bourbon vanilla and Atlas cedar tie that sweetness to a woody, oriental warmth.
