What does Black Sugar smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening and night out lead the occasions. Half the voters read it as feminine, though some find it masculine.

The scent reads as a fruity, sweet gourmand base, with vanilla and raspberry giving a soft sweetness. Sandalwood, leather and oud add a woody, slightly smoky depth, while frankincense and myrrh bring a resinous, spicy warmth that keeps the sugar in check.
