What does Tonka Sel_Noir smell like?

It opens with citrus zest, almond and black pepper: the almond brings sweetness while the pepper draws a spicy line. In the heart, ylang-ylang, patchouli and black salt come forward, the salt adding an aquatic, earthy side. The base of tobacco, resins, Indian sandalwood and tonka bean leaves a creamy, gourmand, lightly smoky warmth.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, though the small number of votes makes this a tentative picture. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on any skin. Caffeine Honey and Tonka Fever have a close profile.
