What does Malbec smell like?

The opening is bright with bergamot, lemon, lime and mandarin orange, while blackcurrant adds fruit and pepper and cardamom bring spice. In the heart, patchouli, Virginia cedar and Malbec wine pull it toward wood and earth, and musk, benzoin and amber soften it into a sweeter finish.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters point to evening and night out, though it also fits leisure time and the office.
