What does Spicebomb Dark Leather smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it can also work for leisure. Voters mostly read it as masculine, with modern close behind.
Black pepper and nutmeg open with a fresh, dry spice. In the heart, cinnamon adds sweetness while frankincense brings a smoky touch. As it settles, tobacco and black leather form a leathery, woody base. The fresh and sweet accords soften that harder core. Its profile is close to The Dua Brand Spice It Up: Dark Leather and Issey Miyake Nuit d'Issey Noir Argent.
