What does Vintage Black (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens with grapefruit, lime, white pepper and green notes, which give a bright, sharp first impression. In the heart come sandalwood, tequila and lavender, and the scent settles onto a woody base of oak, musk and cedarwood.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn, spring and summer, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. It reads as a men's fragrance. Davidoff Cool Water and SEINZ. Classic have a close profile.
