What does Sucre d'Ébène smell like?

Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening, leisure and night-out wear lead the occasions. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters lean towards calling it feminine, though it wears comfortably as unisex.

The scent is built on the warm sweetness of brown sugar and vanilla. Benzoin adds a resinous softness and orange blossom a floral touch, while hamamelis stays in the background. Powdery, spicy and woody sides show through in the accords. Roberto Cavalli Roberto Cavalli (2012) and Kilian Sweet Redemption The End have a close profile.
