What does Black Angel smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter not far behind. It sits comfortably across leisure, evening, daily and business wear, and most voters read it as feminine, though some call it masculine.
Mandarin orange and ginger open fresh and spicy. In the heart, orris root and jasmine add a floral, powdery softness. Patchouli, amber and styrax close it with a woody, resinous, sweet trail. I Am Sicily Gelsomino and Birkholz Portraits of Portofino have a close profile.
