What does 02 Bold/Dark/Exotic smell like?

Black cherry liquour carries the fruity sweetness, while the spices add a warm, sharp edge. Benzoin and frankincense bring a resinous, slightly smoky depth, and amber softens the whole blend onto a woody base.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it neither projects far nor fades quickly. It reads as masculine, and voters rate it well for the money. Pierre Guillaume 28 Peau d'Ambre and Zara Amber Satin have a close profile.
