What does Black Line smell like?

It opens with spices, and the heart brings together leather, amber, patchouli and rose, with the rose softening the edge. Indian sandalwood and white musk sit underneath. The overall impression is woody, resinous and oriental, with the floral touch kept in the background.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and summer is barely suggested. It is worn mostly in the evening and on nights out. Masculine and feminine votes are close, so it reads as truly unisex. Mancera Aoud Exclusif and Mazzolari Oriente have a close profile.
