What does Vison Noir (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It reads as a single whole rather than layers: the floral accord leads, plum and mandarin orange add a fruity sweetness, and coriander and labdanum bring a spicy, smoky depth. Tonka bean and musk settle it onto a powdery base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so take that loosely. It is a feminine scent and has been discontinued. Amouage Silver and Ted Lapidus Rumba Passion have a close profile.
