What does Noir de Mars smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Few people have rated it, so those impressions are tentative. Its woody, spicy character sits comfortably on anyone, with no lean towards masculine or feminine.

The top of Laotian oud, sandalwood, gaiac wood and nagarmotha sets a dry, smoky wooden base. In the heart, myrrh, leather and gurjum balsam add a resinous, animalic warmth. Haitian amyris and amber in the base soften the whole and close it with an earthy sweetness.
