What does Ace of Spades smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it is worn mostly for leisure, daily life and business, with night and evening use a little further behind.

It opens bright and green with lemon, basil, rhubarb and elemi resin. The heart holds blackcurrant bud, frankincense and whisky. In the base, birch tar and gaiac wood bring the smoke, while Atlas cedar and musk soften it onto a woody ground. Motörhead Overkill and Comme des Garçons Play Black have a close profile.
