What does Black Jade smell like?
It lasts well and projects moderately. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It is most often placed in the evening and on nights out, though daytime and office wear get votes too. Most voters call it feminine, with a strong classic streak.
The top notes of cardamom, bergamot and galbanum open fresh and green. In the heart, jasmine, damask rose, cinnamon and frankincense add a floral, spicy warmth. The base of sandalwood, vanilla, patchouli and tonka bean turns it woody, sweet and powdery.
