What does Black Powder smell like?

Pimento, apple and blackcurrant lead, with spice and fruit sweetness moving together. The heart turns to frankincense, tobacco leaf, sandalwood and suede, shifting the scent toward smoky and earthy tones. Tonka bean and patchouli carry the sweetness and woody depth into the base.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, while summer stays in the background. It suits evenings, nights out and leisure time, and nearly half of voters read its character as masculine. Its profile is close to Amouage Interlude Man and Tom Daxon Resin Sacra.
