What does Black Sugar (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with oriental lily, caramel and heliotrope, the flowers blended into a sugary softness. In the heart, rose, Brazilian rosewood and black sugar come forward and the scent turns a little spicy. The base of amber, vanilla and tonka bean closes it in a powdery, gourmand warmth.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, spring is not far behind, and summer is chosen least. It leans towards daily and leisure wear, and it also works at the office. Most voters read it as feminine and modern. Fragonard Héliotrope Gingembre and Jo Malone Sweet Milk have a close profile.
