What does Dark Forest smell like?

The notes are neroli, vanilla, ginger and bergamot. Bergamot and neroli keep the green side bright, ginger adds spice, and vanilla sweetens and softens the whole. Earthy and oriental accords give the blend a darker backdrop.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring has a fair share too. It is chosen mostly for evenings, leisure time and nights out. Most voters read it as masculine, yet a good number call it feminine, which fits its unisex character. Christian Louboutin Loubihorse and Zara Warm Black have a close profile.
