What does Black Avaritia smell like?

It suits men and women alike, reading neither clearly masculine nor feminine. Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong, though the sample of votes is small, so take this as a rough guide. Francesca Bianchi The Dark Side and Zara WO/01 Somewoody have a close profile.

It opens with honey and grapefruit, the citrus lightly sharpening the sweetness. The heart brings oud, frankincense, cistus, violet, ambrette and cashmere, giving a floral, spicy, resinous weight. The base of vanilla, amber, musk, sandalwood and cedarwood leaves a woody, powdery, gourmand warmth.
