What does Black smell like?

It opens with rose, Yemenite frankincense, black amber and pink pepper, a resinous, spicy start. In the heart, Nepalese nard, Vietnamese oud, patchouli and Siam benzoin take over, giving it a smoky, earthy depth. The base of ambroxan, moss and amber softens it and adds sweetness.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. Its dense, oriental character suits cooler weather and evenings. It sits comfortably on both men and women. Réminiscence Bois Étoilé / Oud and Tom Ford Oud Fleur have a close profile.
