What does Black smell like?

It opens with blackberry, orange zest, Persian peach and Sicilian bergamot, a fruity brightness up front. The heart of lotus, iris, rose and orchid adds a floral, powdery softness. In the base, vanilla, tonka bean and praliné sweeten it further, while cedarwood and musk keep that sweetness on a woody footing.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters recommend autumn and winter, and night-out and evening wear lead the occasions. It reads feminine, though some find it modern too. Lolita Lempicka (Eau de Parfum) and Rochas Tocade share a close profile.
