What does VIP for Him Black Edition smell like?

The top is bergamot, pineapple and resins, a fruity, sweet start. Thyme, hazelnut and cinnamon in the heart push it towards a gourmand, spicy side. Leather, patchouli and woods underneath give it a woody, leathery base.

Most voters pick fall and winter, and night out and evening are the leading occasions. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters read it as masculine. Costume National Homme and Salvatore Ferragamo Sublime Leather have a close profile.
