What does Black Anubis smell like?

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though that view rests on only a few votes. The character leans masculine.

The top has saffron, artemisia and grapefruit, with the grapefruit adding freshness. Bulgarian rose and nutmeg bring a floral, spicy heart. The base of leather, oud and cedar gives an animal, woody ground, softened and sweetened by tonka bean and amber.
