What does Dark Wave (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated weak and its sillage moderate, though the vote count is small, so treat that as a rough guide. With no season or occasion votes, all that can be said is that the fresh, sweet style points to casual daily wear.

Grapefruit, lemon, mint and coriander give the opening its coolness. Melon sweetens the heart, while ginger and nutmeg add spice. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli and amber is woody and creamy, and the aldehydes lend a slightly synthetic sheen. R./ Cosmetics After Shave and Armaf Club de Nuit Iconic have a close profile.
