Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Looks good without trying too hard.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

SmokyWhat does Black Heart V.2 smell like?
It opens with Brazilian orange, bergamot and eucalyptus for a fresh citrus lift. Cinnamon, cardamom and black pepper bring a spicy warmth in the heart, while Australian sandalwood and woods carry the base into resinous, smoky territory.
Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it suits evenings and nights out best, though leisure wear also gets votes. Most voters read it as masculine. Recreation At Night We Dance and Bois 1920 Scuro have a close profile.
