What does Musamam Black Intense smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. Voters read it as masculine and modern.

It opens with nutmeg, sage, lavender and bergamot, fresh and spicy. In the heart, geranium and cedarwood add a floral, woody turn. The base of tonka bean, patchouli and maple wood turns sweeter, leaving a gourmand, creamy, lightly smoky trail. Montblanc Legend Night and Al Haramain Détour Noir have a close profile.
