What does Framboise Noire smell like?

Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter. It leans towards leisure time, evenings and nights out. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters don't place it firmly as feminine or masculine; it sits somewhere between the two.

It opens with black raspberry and wild berries, giving a sweet, dense fruitiness. In the heart, white oud and Iris pallida pull that sweetness towards a woody, slightly powdery side. Musk and black woods close it in the base with a spicy, resinous, smoky finish. Juliette Has A Gun Another Oud and Oil Lab Hamango have a close profile.
