What does Ebony in Oak smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring next and summer hardly chosen. It leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out. Votes tilt masculine, though a fair number call it feminine.

As a whole the scent is woody and spicy. Virginia cedar and ebony form the dry frame, while saffron, pink pepper and Sri Lankan cardamom add spice. Cocoa absolute and tonka bean absolute bring sweetness, Madagascan geranium adds a green touch, and Suederal® carries the leathery side.
