What does Black to Black smell like?

It opens with bergamot, clove and saffron, giving an immediate spicy warmth. The heart of patchouli, rose, amber and Grasse jasmine adds a sweet floral note, with earthy and resinous tones coming forward. The base of sandalwood, white musk, leather and oud leaves a smoky, animalic depth.

Longevity and sillage are both rated very strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evenings and nights out leading and summer rarely chosen. It reads mostly masculine, though a good number find it feminine. Zara Sensual Oud and Rasasi Faqat Lil Rijal have a close profile.
