What does Ocean Noir smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer; it leans towards daily and leisure wear, with office and sport use not far behind. It reads masculine and modern.

It opens with coconut, minneola tangelo and marine notes, fresh, fruity and a little sweet. Geranium, yarrow and kelp keep the aquatic side going in the heart. In the base, musk, amberwood and tonka bean close it out with a woody, creamy warmth. Rayhaan Aquatica and Aswan Shu have a close profile.
