What does Black Chyp smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the vote count is small, so this is only a general tendency. No season or occasion preference is available; the character is unisex.

Bergamot, grapefruit and green mandarin orange give the opening a bright lift. In the heart, civet, sweet acacia, labdanum, spices and champaca come forward, softened by vanilla and tolu balm. At the base, vetiver, woods, black ambergris, Thai oud, Siberian musk and oakmoss settle into a woody, smoky, earthy ground.
