What does Black is Black for Men smell like?

The top is bright with bergamot, grapefruit, lemon and tangerine, while lavender and juniper berry pull it towards a cool, green edge. Rose and jasmine add a soft floral heart. In the base, gaiac wood, tonka bean, vanilla and amber sweeten and warm it, with smoky, leathery and animal touches sitting quietly behind.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, though the small number of votes means those ratings are tentative. It is aimed at men. Versace Blue Jeans and Chanel Allure Homme (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
