What does Dorian's Spleen smell like?

Coffee, dark chocolate and caramel make up the sweet side, while whisky and smoke pull it into darker territory. Ash tree and spices add a woody, slightly resinous base, and a creamy accord softens the density.

Its longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small, so this is a tentative reading. It reads as neither masculine nor feminine and suits those who like a rich, gourmand scent. French Avenue Spectre Wraith and Faviol Seferi Fragrance Insomnia have a close profile.
