What does Black smell like?

The top is fresh, with mint, coriander, violet and pink pepper. In the heart, melon and pineapple bring the fruit forward, while lavender, sage and cinnamon give it a spicy frame. The base of cedarwood, amberwood and vanilla sweetens the scent and gathers it on a woody footing, and the synthetic and gourmand accords colour the whole.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards leisure, evening and night-out wear. It reads masculine and modern. La Rive Heroic Man and Armaf Odyssey Homme White Edition have a close profile.
