What does Black Bottle smell like?

It opens bright and lightly spiced with green mandarin orange, bergamot and saffron, with cashmere softening the start. In the heart, caramel and heliotrope bring sweetness, iris adds a powdery texture and Russian leather lends a leathery weight. The base of oud, amber and musk dries down into a warm, resinous oriental, with Indonesian ylang-ylang adding a faint floral softness.

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. It suits those who like rich, sweet and spicy scents, and it reads comfortably on both men and women.
