What does JPS Black (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, though the sample is small, so this is a loose impression. There is no season or occasion data, but the profile reads clearly masculine.

It opens with ginger, bergamot, apple and Japanese yuzu, a bright, green start. The heart of black pepper, sage, lavender and cinnamon adds a spicy, fougère character. The base of frankincense, patchouli, tobacco and sandalwood is woody with a leathery edge, softened by white musk. Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Infinite and Montblanc Présence (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
