What does Mauboussin pour Lui In Black smell like?

It opens with salted caramel, mint and Italian mandarin orange, the mint and citrus keeping the caramel from turning heavy. In the heart, black violet, French sage and Virginia cedar bring floral and spicy shades together with wood. The base of Indonesian patchouli, benzoin and Paraguayan gaiac wood settles into a powdery, creamy, resinous warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening is the most common occasion, though office and daily wear get votes too. It reads masculine and modern. Giorgio Armani Sensi and Memo Paris Quartier Latin have a close profile.
