What does Dark Opulence smell like?
Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong, though few people have voted, so the scores are only a loose guide. It reads as neither distinctly masculine nor feminine. With no season or occasion votes, expect a dense, heavy character.
The top notes of ginger, saffron and rum give a spicy warmth. Tobacco, osmanthus and black tea soften the heart, and oud, leather and gaiac wood build a woody, earthy, smoky base. A fruity, sweet side runs through the accords. Montale Aoud Cuir d'Arabie and Byredo Tobacco Mandarin have a close profile.
