ResinousWhat does BlackSoul (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens with cardamom, neroli, bergamot and spearmint, fresh but already spiced. The heart brings date, raisin, saffron and cinnamon, moving the scent toward a fruity, sweet warmth. The base of tolu balm, musk, Chinese cedar and gaiac wood settles into a resinous, woody and slightly animalic ground.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans toward evenings and nights out. Most voters find it masculine.
