What does Black & Gold for Him smell like?

The top opens cool with mint, yuzu and bitter orange. In the heart, clary sage, liqueur and Provençal lavender come forward, with the liqueur adding a touch of sweetness. The base of vetiver, Operanide® and patchouli lays down a woody, faintly smoky ground.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. It is classed as a men's fragrance, and its fresh character sits close to everyday wear. Dolce & Gabbana K (Eau de Toilette) and Dior Sauvage (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
