What does Signature Noir (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters point to evening, leisure, a night out and the office, so it isn't tied to a single use. Detaille Par 4 and Zaharoff Signature Royale (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

The top is fresh and green, with basil, coriander and bergamot, while pink pepper adds spice. The heart turns floral and resinous through freesia, cypress, fir balsam and ginger. The base settles into a sweet, powdery, woody floor of myrrh, frankincense, oud and tonka bean.
