Lanoé Black is a unisex scent that moves from a fresh opening of juniper berry and citrus fruits into a spicy heart of cumin, pepper and clove, then settles on vetiver, patchouli, cedarwood and leather.

What does Black smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, though the small number of votes means those ratings are only a rough guide. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on either men or women.

It opens cool and lively with juniper berry and citrus fruits. Cumin, pepper and clove then add a warm, spicy middle. The base of vetiver, patchouli and cedarwood builds a woody, earthy footing, and the leather note gives it a leathery finish. Cerruti 1881 Riviera and David Jourquin Cuir Caraïbes have a close profile.
