SmokyWhat does Black Datura smell like?
The top pairs pink pepper with ylang-ylang, tuberose and datura for a creamy floral opening. In the heart, myrrh, incense, Peru balsam and labdanum turn it sweet and smoky. The base of musk, amber and Haitian vetiver settles into a soft, oriental finish.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is classed as unisex. Stéphane Humbert Lucas Crying of Evil and Al Haramain Oudh 36 have a close profile.
