What does Black V smell like?

Peach and lemon open with a fruity brightness, while cinnamon adds spicy warmth. In the heart, orange blossom and tuberose bring a soft floral note. The base of vanilla and caramel turns creamy, powdery and oriental, with cedar keeping it slightly dry.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, and it suits evenings and nights out best, though it also works for leisure. It reads more feminine than masculine. Black Opium Eau de Parfum and Good Girl Eau de Parfum have a close profile.
