What does Carbonara smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards leisure, evenings and nights out, with office and daily wear further behind. Voters mostly read it as masculine, followed by modern and feminine.

It opens with black pepper, pink pepper, smoke, elemi resin and coconut, a spicy, smoky start. The heart holds Malabar pepper, rum, jasmine and davana. In the base, Bourbon vanilla, cane sugar and sandalwood make it creamy and sweet, while amber and oud add a darker depth.
