What does Afterimage smell like?

The notes aren't split into top, heart and base, so it reads as one whole from start to finish. Leather, white suede and smoke form a dry, leathery backbone, which honey, praliné and vanilla sweeten. Coffee and rum darken the gourmand side, while iris adds a powdery softness and pink pepper a light touch of spice.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. It sits close in profile to Naomi Goodsir Cuir Velours and LM Parfums Cicatrices.
