What does Copper Black smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without filling the room. It is classed as a men's fragrance. There are no season or occasion votes, so nothing can be said about when it suits best. Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle Essence de Parfum and Roberto Ugolini Casentino have a close profile.

The top notes of ginger, apple and mandarin orange leaf give a fruity, slightly sharp start. In the heart, bourbon whiskey, cardamom and black leather bring out the spice and smoke. The base of tonka bean, gaiac wood and vanilla leaves a sweet, woody, oriental finish.
