What does For Him Bleu Noir Parfum smell like?

It opens bright with mandarin orange, cypress and Italian bergamot. The heart brings iris, cardamom and blue atlas cedar, softened by musk. In the base, vetiver, suede, tonka bean and sandalwood carry it into a sweet, creamy, slightly leathery woodiness.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, then spring, with summer well behind. Evening, leisure, night out and business wear all draw similar support, and most voters read it as masculine and modern. Its profile is close to Zara Extreme 9.0 and Rasasi Daarej pour Homme.
