WoodyWhat does Black for Her (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
It wears with good longevity and moderate sillage. Most voters call it feminine, and spring is the season it leans towards most, followed by fall and summer. It sits closest to daily, leisure and office wear, with some votes for evening and nights out too.
It opens with violet and citrus fruits for a fresh start. The heart is a crowd of white florals: lotus, jasmine, tuberose, magnolia and ylang-ylang. Sandalwood, musk and amber underneath settle it into a soft, woody, powdery finish, with green and sweet touches along the way. Chanel Chance Eau de Parfum and Valentino Very Valentino Eau de Parfum have a close profile.
