What does Forlorn Embers & Black Reigns smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evenings or nights out; it reads mostly masculine, though it stays unisex.

It opens with mace, bourbon whiskey, marshmallow and chocolate, a sweet, spicy gourmand layer. In the heart, ash, truffle and pine tree cone add a smoky backdrop. The base of oak, mahogany and leatherwood leaves a woody, resinous warmth. Filippo Sorcinelli Notre Dame Notte di Natale and Pineward Glühwein have a close profile.
