What does Vampyre Essence smell like?

The top is blood, black pepper, blood orange and whisky, with a fruity, sweet edge up front. In the heart, vetiver, tobacco and cinnamon pull that sweetness toward something woody and smoky. Coriander, leather, beeswax and oud leave an animal, resinous, leathery base, and the synthetic accord adds to the dark mood.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though few people have voted, so treat that as a rough guide. The weight and density of the scent point to evening wear, and it sits comfortably on men and women alike. Philipp Plein No Limit$ and Voronoi Oud Occult have a close profile.
