What does Ink of Shadows smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though only a small number of votes stand behind those ratings, so they point to a tendency rather than a firm measure. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine, and sits comfortably as a unisex fragrance.

Bergamot and black pepper open bright and spicy. In the heart, fire and vetiver bring a smoky, earthy feel. The base of vanilla, musk and leather turns creamy and powdery as the vanilla sweetens it, while the leather keeps its firm edge. A green note runs quietly through it.
