What does Black Influence smell like?

It opens with nutmeg and black cardamom in a spicy start. In the heart, Siam benzoin and Bourbon vanilla bring a sweet, resinous softness, while vetiver adds a dry, earthy balance. The base settles on cedarwood and Brazilian tonka bean, leaving a warm, woody sweetness. Sweet and spicy accords dominate, with a faintly synthetic edge in the background. Its profile is close to Faan Al Badr and AllSaints Incense City.
