SmokyWhat does Ombre Noire smell like?
Most voters pick fall and winter for it, and it is worn mostly for evenings and nights out. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. It reads mainly as masculine and classic.
Fig leaf, Italian bergamot and peppermint give it a fresh start. Frankincense, papyrus, cinnamon and tobacco follow, and a smoky, resinous, earthy character takes over. Myrrh, tonka bean, cedarwood and cognac then settle it into a sweet, woody finish. Molton Brown Bizarre Brandy and Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Elixir have a close profile.
