ChypreWhat does Or Black (1981) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Most voters call it masculine and classic.
Bergamot's freshness is quickly hardened by pepper, with leather close behind. In the heart, sage, benzoin and cistus add a resinous, smoky depth. The base of vetiver, amber, Tonkin musk and oakmoss deepens the earthy, animal, chypre character, while the spicy, woody frame runs throughout. Nina Ricci Phileas and Lancôme Balafre Brun have a close profile.
