What does Obsidian smell like?

Four notes carry it as a single piece: leather and oud form a woody, leathery frame, iris adds a powdery softness and rose a floral brightness. Spicy and sweet accords round off the edges and leave a gourmand warmth, while the fresh accord loosens the density slightly.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. Evening and night-out wear lead, with business use also mentioned. It reads masculine. Dior Cuir Cannage and Roberto Cavalli Royal Iris have a close profile.
