What does Black (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter and summer trailing. It leans towards leisure, evenings and nights out, and most voters call it masculine and modern.
It opens green and fresh with tarragon, bamboo and coriander. In the heart, white pepper, geranium and lavender add a spicy edge. The base of cedarwood, tonka bean and musk sweetens it and settles into a powdery, oriental warmth.
