What does Black smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening gets the most votes. It leans masculine in character, though it is a unisex fragrance.

It opens with black pepper, ginger and cinnamon, giving a warm, spicy start. In the heart, tonka bean and coffee bring sweetness to the fore. The base of gaiac wood, birch bark, frankincense and oud dries down smoky, leathery and earthy.
