What does Hora de la Verdad Sombra smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, and most voters find the lasting power high, though the number of votes is small, so take that with caution. The heavy, smoky character suits cooler weather and evening wear, and it does not lean toward either gender.

Blood, thyme, white pepper and Spanish saffron open it sharp and spicy. Jasmine, narcissus and Turkish rose absolute bring a floral softness in the heart. The base settles into styrax, labdanum, oud, leather, civet and castoreum, resinous, woody and animalic.
