OrientalWhat does Ultimate Black (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring a close third. It leans towards daytime, leisure and business wear, and also suits evenings. Most votes read it as masculine and modern.
Pink pepper and cinnamon open it with spice. In the heart, sage, lavender and nagarmotha add freshness. Tonka bean, cedarwood and amber sweeten the base into a woody, gourmand warmth. Its profile is close to Rabanne Invictus Victory and Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle Eau de Toilette.
