What does Black III smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters pick it most for autumn and spring, with summer and winter trailing behind. It leans towards leisure time, evenings and nights out; most voters read it as masculine, though a fair number call it feminine.

Spearmint and bergamot bring the cool top. Leather and dry woods form the heart, and patchouli, vanilla, moss and sandalwood sweeten and warm the base. Spicy and oriental touches sit lightly over that woody frame. Habit Rouge Rouge Privé and Gucci Envy for Men have a close profile.
