CreamyWhat does Black Sesame smell like?
The top is sweet and fruity, with mandarin orange, amaretto, chocolate and raspberry. At the heart, iris, rose, black sesame, orange blossom and tuberose bring a powdery, creamy floral texture. The base of woody notes, coffee, musk, vanilla and amber softens it and settles into a warm sweetness, with spicy and synthetic touches running through the accords. Annayake Mood for Tattoo Woman and Philly & Phill Velvet in Vegas have a close profile.
