What does Black Tea smell like?

The top pairs clove, nutmeg, Indian black tea and Egyptian basil, giving a citrusy, green, spicy opening. In the heart, leather, Egyptian geranium and Jasminum auriculatum add a soft floral touch. The base rests on Indonesian patchouli, Virginia cedar, birch tar and Mysore sandalwood, a woody, smoky foundation sweetened by musk and amber.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with leisure, daily wear and business settings leading. Most see it as masculine and classic. Atkinsons 41 Burlington Arcade and Absolument Homme have a close profile.
