What does Midnight with the Mobster smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, so it stays with you for a long time and carries well. Most voters pick fall and winter, and see it as an evening or night-out scent. More voters call its character masculine, though a good share find it feminine.

The scent is sweet, gourmand and resinous overall: cognac, benzoin and vanilla form a soft, dense base. Black pepper and ginger cut the sweetness with spice, while tobacco and patchouli add a woody depth. Jasmine and neroli bring the floral side forward, and bergamot leaves a light freshness.
