LeatheryWhat does Black XS L'Aphrodisiaque for Men smell like?
Voters find both its longevity and its sillage strong, though the number of ratings is small, so this is only a rough guide. It reads as masculine and leaves a noticeable trail.
Lemon, cinnamon and saffron give the top a bright, spicy start. In the heart, orange blossom, honey and cypriol deepen the sweetness, and praliné, white musk and leather settle at the base. The overall feel is fruity and gourmand, with a leathery, animal edge behind it. Rabanne 1 Million (Eau de Toilette) and Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb have a close profile.
